Question
Now close your eyes and imagine that you have reached such a place. How does it feel? Which songs do you feel like singing?
Solution
I have reached a valley of flowers. I feel very nice.
Here is a song which I would like to sing:
“Well, flowers come in green and pink and red
And they sleep all day in their little flower beds
But the little dandelion grows wild and free
With her uncles and her cousins and the whole family”
