Flowers in the garden

Lima came to spend some holidays with her Aunt Macy.
All the kids were having gala time.
They were today joined by a nearby friend also, Shiki.
Shiki is ten years old.
All of them were playing and laughing and sprawling in the garden.
Shiki was standing near a flowery bush.
She was continuously looking at the flowers.
Looking at them, she smiled and suddenly started crying ....

Lima, being the eldest in all, went to Shiki and asked,
"Why are you standing alone here...and why are you crying...?"
Lima called her Aunt, who also asked Shiki the same question.
Shiki replied (still crying),
"I found these flowers too beautifully silent to listen to my plight carefully..."
and she cried again.
Macy asked,
"What is your problem Dear.. you can tell me."
Shiki replied,
"No one in my family has a single day's time to listen to me as carefully silently as these flowers...."
and she cried again.
Macy took her in her arms and hugged her tight.
