"You're too early," the frost warned. "You'll freeze."

"I can't wait," Snowdrop said. "The world needs beauty now."

The frost wrapped around her stem. The wind whipped her petals. Snowdrop shivered but did not close.

A hungry bird, searching for food in the barren field, saw Snowdrop's white face. "You're the only color here," he said.

He ate a seed from her center, gaining strength to fly south.

"Thank you," he called as he soared away.

Other birds came. Bees, barely awake, sipped her nectar. Children pointed from their windows.

"Look, a flower!" they cried.

The other bulbs felt Snowdrop's courage. They pushed through the soil-crocuses, then daffodils, then tulips. By spring, the field was a riot of color.

"You started this," the daffodils told Snowdrop.

"I just bloomed when I could," she said.

Snowdrop's petals eventually wilted, but her seeds scattered across the field. The next winter, more snowdrops appeared, then more, until the whole field was dotted with white.

"You changed everything," the frost admitted. "I tried to stop you, but you bloomed anyway."

Snowdrop smiled. "That's what flowers do."

She still blooms early, brave and white, reminding the world that beauty can come even in the coldest times.

The birds remember her. The bees remember her. The children who saw her from their windows are now grown, and they tell their own children about the flower who bloomed too early and started spring.

Snowdrop is gone, but her story lives on.

And every winter, when the ground is frozen, a few white petals appear, brave and bright, whispering, "You can bloom too. Even now. Especially now."
