Why did he have to be born here, in this time? All he wanted to see was the sunflowers bloom...But, alas, nothing can bloom here. In this place they call Russia, all he ever wanted to see was the blooming Sunflowers.
One day, as he watched the frozen seeds sprout from the frozen ground, a man stood beside them. A sweet smile was on his face. The man spoke of the cold and his wishes for the precious flower to bloom. The boy smiled, knowing he wished the same thing.
As the man started to was away, the boy asked: "Whats your name?"
The man turned and whispered into the boy's ear: "I am Russia, and I'd like the flower to bloom too..."
The little boy never understood what he had meant, but he never too much notice to it. He just watched as the sprout disappeared into the earth once more... Russia, a place in which snow shall ever fall and the sunflowers won't bloom... This, is where a boy met his country. This, is where it all began...
