The First Rhododendron
पहिलो लालीगुराँस
A legend about how the Rhododendron flower got its bright red color.
Initially, Rhododendron flowers were white. But a small bird got injured.
चराको रगत बगिरहेको थियो। सेतो फूलले चरालाई आफ्नो पातमा आराम गर्न दियो।
The bird was bleeding. The white flower let the bird rest on its petals.
चराको रगतले फूल रातो भयो। चरा निको भयो र उड्यो।
The bird's blood turned the flower red. The bird healed and flew away.
दयालु फूलको सम्झनामा, आज पनि लालीगुराँस रातो र सुन्दर फूल्छ।
In memory of the kind flower, even today the Rhododendron blooms red and beautiful.
