The Legend of Magnolia grandiflora

According to legend, there was a happy family of three in ancient times. The family planted a magnolia tree in front of their house. When the magnolia flowers bloom, the branches are full of colorful flowers, emitting a fresh fragrance, attracting groups of butterflies to dance among the flowers. One day, the child's father went to the mountain to collect firewood and accidentally fell into the valley. The child waited for his father to come back home for a long time, so he went to the mountain to look for him. As soon as he arrived at the mountain, he was eaten by a hungry tiger. When the child's mother saw that the father and son had not returned, she went out to look for them. She found the child's shoes next to the tiger cave. Knowing that her son had met with an accident, she couldn't help but burst into tears. The mother's crying attracted the tiger, and she immediately climbed up a tree and eventually survived. The mother waited until the tiger left and went to look for her husband. She saw her husband's axe on the cliff and learned that both father and son had met with an accident. The mother was heartbroken. After the mother returned home, she found that the magnolia tree in front of the door was full of flowers, but they were no longer colorful flowers. All of them were white, representing the mother's longing for her husband and children.
