              The nightingale thought about the student.
            
            
              She thought about the mystery of love. Then
            
            
              she understood the student’s sadness.
            
            
              Suddenly, the nightingale flew into the air.
            
            
              She flew through the garden. Then she flew to
            
            
              the top of a rose tree.
            
            
              “Give me a red rose,”
            
            
              she said to the rose
            
            
              tree.
            
            
              “Then I will sing a sweet song.”
            
            
              The rose tree shook its head.
            
            
              “My roses are
            
            
              white,”
            
            
              it said.
            
            
              “Go to my brother. He is on the
            
            
              other side of the garden. Maybe he can give
            
            
              you a red rose.”
