Dandelion

Dandelion - a wild plant which has yellow flowers with lots of thin petals 

He stood in a sea of white and yellow. The field streched itself from a faint north skyline to a little rock beneath his feet, jumped a serpentine of a river and ran towards a black wall of a winter forest. It was a dry time of a hot season and storms would not come for at least two weeks: dandelions popped everywhere where was soil to root in. 

The first part of a day the sun was climbing its usual path in the blue skies. And then came a little boy and hid himself from the birght light under a big tree that grew unchalenged in the middle of a dandelion field. The lay on his back in a tree shade and took a book out of his pocket and, pointing its cover to a green crown of the friendly giant, started to read. He wished that the sun would forget how to climb down from the skies and hang there helplessly for the rest of the week (it was the last week of the summer holidays and he still had five magical books to read.) If someone were living on the tree or just happend to sit on a branch of it, he would easily read the title of the book: "Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury."
