[15:10.76]Everyone wanted to make friends with him,
[15:15.12]but Narcissus only wanted to make friends with people as beautiful as he was.
[15:23.38]One day, when he was going for a walk,Narcissus came to a river.

[16:38.37]When his body fell to the ground,a white flower grew from the earth.
[16:45.22]This flower is even⁷⁴ more beautiful than Narcissus.
[16:50.49]It grows in quiet places near rivers,but it does not know that it is beautiful.
