myth for desert hyacinth

At one time, trees grew all around the world to the delight of everyone living. Forests were everywhere you could go. The creator of plants was always working with trees and herbs to reshape them and create them out of dust and bones and the plant god, well, she was not paying too much attention when she made this particular hyacinth. She was inspired by lush hyacinths with their towering batton of flowers. But she wanted to make a being that was part plant and part animal, so she didn’t give this plant the sacred digestion plants usually have to eat sun. But as she worked she got distracted by the way a couple of lizards played on the water. When she was done she put the flower in one of the forests of the world and went away to do other things. 

Since this plant didn’t have any green in it, because it couldn't eat the sun it lived off of other plants. And while it could have learned to grow green leaves, it decided not to. Instead it kept close to other plants and animals of the forest, just because it liked to chat with them. It turned out that all the flowers on this particular hyacinth had all different things to say and all different jokes to tell. The plant creator liked listening to all the stories this hyacinth told, but a lot of the other plants and animals were kind of annoyed by its constant jabbering, so they moved away. But the hyacinth kept talking, laughing and chuckling at its own jokes. But some of the trees thought it was a pretty funny plant. Soon the desert hyacinth and the trees looked around and realized they were in the first desert because so many of the other plants and animals were annoyed by its stories. 

It didn’t feel like it was missing anything, in fact it liked hanging out in the forest chatting. That’s why, if you listen very closely, you can hear the desert hyacinth laughing. It laughs and laughs at its own jokes, and the trees who love the stories, listen in, and if you listen with your heart, you can even hear the creator of plants laughing too, at all the stories the desert hyacinth has to tell.
