2. The legend of Paphiopedilum

According to legend, God has seven very beautiful daughters. They accidentally heard that there was a rich man in the world who planted many rare and strange flowers and plants at home. One day, they would sneak in to play when their parents were not paying attention, and would not rush back until God was about to close the gates of heaven.

At first, the flowers were very welcoming to them to play in them and they got along very happily with each other. But after a while they started to let go and jump around in the garden, trampling the flowers and plants so that they couldn't grow normally, which made them very angry.

One day, he deliberately tripped them when they were not paying attention, and hid their slippers disguised as flower petals. The fairies couldn't find them, but they had to rush back before the Gate of Heaven was closed. After returning to heaven, he was questioned by God and told the truth. As a result, he was later forbidden to come down to earth. The flowers and plants slowly came back to life, and their slippers remained on the petals, gradually turning into slipper orchids.
