Please, say hello to the little flowers
The mighty sunflowers feel beautiful and proud.
They look down on the smaller flowers from their tall stems.
Sometimes they bow their heads gracefully, like a king or queen.
The little flowers look up to them.
Smile and say hello, sunflowers!
Don’t be too proud!
請向小花兒們問聲好吧
清高的向日葵自嬌自傲。
它們從高高的莖中俯視那些比它們小的花朵兒。
有時它們優(yōu)雅地鞠著它們的頭，就像一位國王或王后。
小花兒們仰望著它們。
微笑吧，問聲好，向日葵們！
可不要太傲慢喔！
