NARCIssUs.


Once upon time there was a boy
by the name Of Narcissus. who had a
twin sister. Narcissus used to play
with his sister very nicely. One day
his sister died and Narcissus. who had
loved her, wished that he could die,
too. One day as he was walking along
he came to a spring and he knelt down
to- get a drink OF water and he saw,
his shadow IN the water. and he thought
1t was his sister who had changed to q
water nynph. SO he came day after day
to the spring to look at his shadow,
which he thought was his sister.
Tho gods were sorrow for him, SO
they changed him into flower, which
is called Narcissus. Every time you
see Narcissus by the side of water
the flower looks into the water to show
that Narcissus who looked into the
water and saw his own shadow and
thought.it was his sister.

went one day to q clear fountain. and
seeing his image in the water fell In
love with It, and spent so much time
gazing at 1t that to punish him for his
vanity he was changed into the flower

Another story Is that Narcissus had
very beautiful sister, who was exact

of clothes that he did, and always went
with him to the hunt. unfortunately
the sister died young. Narcissus was
