“For he who is least among you all will be great.”
Luke 9:48
In Holland in the 15th Century, the tulip used to be a rare flower which may bring a fortune for its possessors. Growing a new type of tulip was bringing a greater fortune. One day, a poor country man who was growing flowers for living, discovered in his garden a bulb of tulip he never saw before: the black tulip. The king’s gardeners always looking for new things saw the unique flower and proposed the elder a house and money for this tulip. The man accepted so he and his family lived happy and continued to grow flowers just for pleasure.
Pay attention to the small things around you! You never know what you may find.
