How Spring was born

            Have you ever thought what spring really is? I mean, can you consider it just a simple season? I can’t. It would be an act of selfishness. Anyway, have you found the answer to my question? What spring really is and feels like? Haven’t you? Then let me tell you my story concerning this matter.
Once upon a time, there was a princess isolated in the tower of an ice castle, in a godforsaken land. Her father, an old king with a frozen heart and cruel soul, with a woven thick beard piled of snowflakes, had locked her there that she couldn’t ever get out and enjoy the warmth of the Summer.
The Summer was an wondrous fairy, with blue eyes like the sky, white perfumed skin and long soft brown hair. Many years ago, she fell in love with a handsome king. But there was an obstacle to cross. Her heart was bright and warm while the king’s heart was doomed to be always sealed in icy chains. Even if nothing in the whole world couldn’t have ever been compared with the greatness of their love, they were still convicted to never can share their love with each other. For this, they had to go on different paths and to convince their hearts that they can never beat together for the eternity. The Summer came back to the Sun, her father, while the king returned to his castle, to the realms of an evil soulless fairy. In order to show to the king how much she loved him, the Summer bestowed him a little girl, called Sophia.
As the years were passing, Sophia was growing up, more and more every day, her beauty being incomparable. She grew without knowing who her mother was. She was convinced that she was a miracle of nature, given that she hadn’t a mother. The king was loving her so much that he never let her going out of the castle. He just wanted to protect her as much as he could.
The princess just couldn’t understand why her father was being so ruthless. One day, early in the morning, when the sun was waking up after a cold night, Sophia was crying behind the frozen window of her room. The only thing Sophia wished for was to can pass behind her window, to walk in the garden, to feel the warm of the sun on her face.
Among others, Sophia loved reading. She used to spend whole days in the castle’s library reading all kinds of books. One day, by mistaken, she found an old diary with leather covers and yellowed pages. She took it and began reading. On the first page was a written with golden points: “For my beloved fairy. I will love you for the eternity.” Sophia smiled, thinking that she is going to read a love story. It had never crossed her mind what secrets she could have found through those pages. On the next page, it was a title: “How the Spring was born”.
In that night, Sophia finished reading the diary. In the morning, she went to her father. She had a lot of questions to ask. When she came into the room, her father was writing.
For whom are you writing so early in the morning, your mightiness?” Sophia asked.
Good to be your morning my beloved daughter. I’m writing in my diary.”
Father, do you keep a diary? Since when?” asked the princess, almost breathless.
Since you were born, my dear.” Answered the king with a kind smile on his face.
Oh, I think I might have found your first diary, your mightiness.” Said Sophia, with tears in her eyes. Her heart was pounding.
Hearing this, the king closed his diary and asked Sophia to sit next to him. He took the old diary from her hands.
My love, how much did you read last night?” asked the king.
Everything. Why didn’t you tell me? All I have ever wanted was to break those icy windows and get out. Why didn’t you tell me who I really am?” asked Sophia, bursting into tears.
Because I just wanted to protect you. You are the Spring. You are the most beautiful creature in whole world, even if you’re still a child. You need to be protected because everything around can hurt or even kill you. You are the most sensible and gentle being. You have flowers in your hear, the warm of the sun in your heart and the ice in your eyes. My dear, you are the Spring.”
And that’s how the Spring was born.

SPRING - THE MOST COLOURFUL TIME OF THE YEAR


Spring is a beautiful time of the year when everything comes to life. Every flower leaves her place in the little space that she occupied in the ground and comes to the surface with her tiny body, with its small leaves. At the beginning they are so small that you can barely see them, but after a while they grow like children. They become as beautiful as a young girl who just becomes a teenager. They look so fragile that you are afraid not to ruin their beauty and that is the reason why they are the symbol of the spring.
Flowers are offered in this time of the year at the persons that we care about, generally at women: children to their mothers or their teachers, or men to women. They are a sign of respect, of appreciation and maybe of love.
It is said that when some flowers are seen for the first time in that year they are the ones who show that spring is coming. Snowdrops are this kind of flowers. They only grow at the beginning of spring and you can see them only once during the year. Their name was given after their appearance: their flower is white like the snow, and their figure is exactly as the one of a drop. This is the reason why they are named snowdrops because they look like they had been falling from the sky, like a snowflake during the winter or a drop when it is raining.
Besides the flowers, the nature itself looks like it is born every year, every time more beautiful that the last time. Everything around us is full of color, of bright, of energy and nothing can be compared with this. It is like everything in the world is perfect and that no one can see any little thing that can disturb this balance of perfectness and peacefulness. Like all the world is like a ball and despite that it is thrown by a little kid almost in every place possible, nothing can ruin the way it is, nothing can break it. Even the animals can see the way the world is changing in this period. Some of them are waking up from their sleep, like bears. They sleep all the winter but like magic they know when to wake up to see that the spring has come. This is one of the things that we, people, cannot understand, while there are so many that can be understood neither now nor in the future.
Also in this period the trees are blooming and they look so beautiful with their branches full of fresh flowers which smell so good when you walk past them. Every tree is unique because each of them has different colors, different number of flowers, different smell. But all of them confer the same thing: beauty.
At the beginning of spring, and from then till the autumn the sun is shining brighter with every day that passes. The days are becoming longer, and the nights shorter, giving the people more time to spend with the loved ones, more time to live their lives.
Putting everything into a nutshell, we can say that spring is the time when the world suffers from a lot of good changes that can be seen from all around the world. It is the time when everything comes to life, when all the nature becomes strong enough to break the ice that had captured it for almost half of the year.

Spring

What could be better than that feeling of freedom when you see that everything comes back to life with happiness and health? You are hypnotized by the songs of the birds or by the smell of the flowers in a wonderful spring!
  Yes, it's March, it’s spring, when everything else is awakened from the deep sleep of winter. The blue sky, fluffy clouds browsing dizzy, sleepy animals find themselves perplexed because bees are buzzing. The small snowdrops come from the snow. The sun, like a king, sends rays as servants, to warm the soil moist and give some joy to people.
March is the month of flowers. The children and adults share trinkets, joy and love all those whom they love. A myth tells how the sun came down to earth in the form of the lovely girl. But a dragon stole her and locked her in his palace. The birds stopped singing, children’s playground and gladness were forgotten, and the world fell into grief. Seeing what happened with the Sun, a young brave man wanted to release the lovely girl. The young boy defeated the dragon and the girl was saved. The sun rose back again, lit the sky and the whole earth. Spring came, people regained joy, but the young fighter was lying in the palace after the heavy fighting they had had. The warm blood was spilled on snow, until he was left breathless. In the places where the snow melted, snowdops came and they announced the spring. It is said that the world honors the memory of the brave young man with a thread linking two flowers: one white, the other red. The red color symbolizes love for beauty and courage and the white symbolizes the snowdrops, the first flower of spring.

Watch out! Spring is here!


                 Love, resurrection, beauty, kindness, joy and peace are only a few things that we can notice and find in spring. Spring is the season of beginning, the season of life and the chance to start all over again.
                 Spring is the most beautiful season of the year; everyone loves it because in those three months love is everywhere. The first day of March is a day of joy, and people wish each other a beautiful spring and also a pleasant year. They send each other all the best wishes in the world.
                 When you see the joy on people’s face and you see them all starting to hug each other and they are so happy, how could you not like the spring, how could you not be happy or contaminated with a big smile of peace and gratitude that you have been able to live in a world where love can be found and happiness, and in a little moment can change your way of thinking and forget all the problems you face every day. Even if your life gives you sometimes bad moments and hard decision, you can forget for a moment all this things, because everyone deserves to be happy, and spring is a great opportunity to see life differently, to see how beautiful is and to be happy that you have a family and a place you can stay with them.
                  On the 8 March all women all over the world are celebrated, the day is also called “Mother’s Day” .When God created Adam, this one felt so alone, even if the birds sang, the flowers were so beautiful and it was such a beauty in everything around him... but something was missing. Then God made a great decision, he put together: beauty, sensibility, kindness, peace and after all- love, into a one frame: the woman. He gave her love to raise her children because no-one loves like a mother on this Earth. God gave her straight to carry all the problems of life on her shoulders, but he gave her sensibility, because when she is down she can cry and after that she will manage to go through everything with new power and new straight. The women will always be fragile and curious, women should not be celebrated in only one day, they should be celebrated every day for what they doing for the world. Women are Wonderful, Outstanding, Marvellous, Adorable and Nice, and because of that they should be respected by everyone and loved. On 8 March mothers in the world receive from their husbands and children flowers and presents. In this day families stay together and they are happy, because in that family exist a woman who takes care of them and also love them unconditionally.
                    Spring is also a great season because all the flowers grow up again, everything is brought to life again, especially trees, when they are in blossom and everything around them smells like new and everyone enjoys the beauty of nature. The sun warms up the Earth and also wakes up every insect that was sleeping all winter. Everything is alive again, children go outside to play, they do not have to stay in their home because is cold outside, now everything is warm and pleasant so they can stay all day long outside and play with their friends.
                      Even the animals are happy because spring came along their country. Birds are singing so beautiful and every species is full of energy.
                       So, you cannot be sad when you see all this joy around you... you cannot stay away from this happiness, even if you do not want to smile you will not manage this thing because happiness is something which cannot let you to be sad, it will contaminate you and there is no escape, because is like a disease a contagious one. After all is nothing so hard to, you have to smile and people around you will be happy.
To put all in a nutshell, spring brings you joy and everything is back to life, after all you must be careful not to be fooled on Fool’s Day on first April, so keep your eyes open and be prepared for anything.

Spring, one of the most beautiful seasons

Spring is one of the most changeable seasons from all four of them. In this season we celebrate two important holidays: Mother’s Day and Easter. During spring the whole world is reborn. For some people the arrival of spring brings another beginning in social life, career and maybe love life.
The first holiday that takes place during spring is Mother’s Day in which every human makes kind acts to their mother or give them gifts. In some regions during the spring people exchange some lucky charms made of red and white wires. In my country boys get these lucky charms on the 1st March and girls on 8th.
In April it begins Easter, for some people this holiday is all about religion. On the other hand there are people that love this event because it is an opportunity to spend some time with family. In America most of the children love Easter because they get sweets from the Easter Bunny, besides the ordinary sweets in America, kids take part in an Egg Hunt where you have to search for chocolate eggs in certain places.
            In most of the countries all the kids are happy with the arrival of Easter because they get a short school break to spend their time with family. Generally speaking, spring is not all about holidays. It is also a great time of the year for trips in the mountains because it still might be snow.
Spring is my favourite season because you have a chance to a ‘’new life’’ and because with each week, day, minute, second you are getting closer and closer to the SUMMER HOLIDAY which is the best part of the year for students. Spring is full of love because many couples celebrate Valentine’s Day. In this unusual event men and women exchange sentimental gifts so they can keep the ‘’Flame’’ still on.
       On the other hand this event could be the worst part of the year for the single people because they see all these couples cuddling everywhere and that reminds them that they are alone and sad, even though some people that felt this way ended up the day by throwing water balloons at the couples so they feel better, and the only date that they would obtain would be with the police officers chasing them.
      In conclusion spring is an odd combination of feelings that for some is beneficial and for some not.
