Myth and LegendsThe Legend of the Sunflower
from Cristina and Andreea
(Alexandru Papiu Ilarian Dej )
in Transylvania - Romania
Long ago there was an emperor who had a beautiful daughter.
One day she fell in love with the Sun and went after him until she
arrived at his castle. When the Sun came home in the evening,
he put his golden carriage into the stable and took care of the horses and when he saw the girl he fell in love with her.
They got married, but they couldn't live but in the dark
as who would see the Sun would become a flower.
One night, being very curious how he looked like,
the girl looked at him having a little candle in her
hand and she kissed him. Suddenly the Sun woke up and cursed her,
so the girl changed into a beautiful flower who would
continually turn around after the Sun and that is why people call it Sunflower.
