                                                                 and said, "Take this

                                The woman planted the seed and it


                 grew into a beautiful flower. When the


                 flower opened, there was a tiny girl in the



                 middle of the flower.





                              "My own daughter!" exclaimed the



                 woman. The little girl was no bigger than a


                 thumb. "I will call her Thumbelina," said


                 the woman.
