在阿尔卑斯山的北面，持续的冬天受到了夏季的顽强抵抗，很快屈服了。而其南面，夏季被间歇性的、充满敌意的寒冬阻挡，永远也不能真正占上风。在两者的斗争中，任何一种情况都只是可能。但是，阳光普照的地方，永远都是阿尔卑斯山的南面。
清晨，阳光强烈地照射在地平线上松树团团的绿雾上，天空清新，充满了生机。河水急匆匆地流着，直到被最后一些压碎的橄榄汁染成棕色。遍地的番红花更是令人诧异不已。你不会相信这些花是静止的。它们如此欢快地绽放，雌蕊是那样的橘红。不计其数的花朵竞相开放，争奇斗艳，让人如痴如醉。花朵们翩翩起舞，那明亮起来的紫和橙色调，和着无形的美妙节奏欢快地摆动。你不得不相信它们在动，而且发出了水晶般的欢快声。如果你静静地欣赏花朵，你就会不由自主地随着它们舞动，就好像跟着星星走一样。当然，你还会听到花朵们欢快的笑声。花的每一个小细胞都跳跃着绚丽的生命和思想。
