[h2]Flower Festival[/h2]
A long time ago, there lived a poor painter named Aiglo. He met a girl by chance named Naro while he was painting in the wild, with whom he fell instantly in love. But Naro was from a rich family, and Aiglo knew he would not have a chance. During his moments of sadness, a friend came and advised him to seek help from the Flower God. Flica Orly, a preacher of the Flower God, told Aiglo that he should plant a blue rose in Naro's garden to show his love for her. Aiglo tried many times but finally succeeded. That blue rose symbolized the miracle that would bring Aiglo and Naro together.

Naro was moved by what Aiglo did and their story spend around town. Soon everyone was asking for blessings from the Flower God and lived happily ever after. Over the years, everyone celebrated the Flower Festival at this time of the year.
