The beautiful legend of Amaryllis

According to Greek legend, in a small village, a beautiful shepherdess met a handsome shepherd and fell in love with him at first sight. But the shepherdess discovered that almost all the shepherdesses in the village loved this shepherd, but the shepherd could only see the beautiful flowers in the garden. The shepherdess was very sad. She wondered who could truly love the shepherd. The shepherdess went to the priestess with confusion and sadness. The priestess told her that if she wanted to be favored by the shepherd, she would have to pay a price. She had to pierce her heart with a golden arrow, and then walk along the same road to the shepherd's cabin every day, letting blood spill on the road she walked. Sure enough, the path where the shepherdess went to visit the shepherd was full of red flowers, just like the blood in the shepherdess's heart. The shepherdess picked a bunch of flowers and excitedly knocked on the door of the wooden cabin holding the flowers. In an instant, the delicate red flowers and beautiful face moved the shepherd. He accepted the shepherdess's sincerity and lived happily with her. The shepherd named the bright red flower after his lover - Amaryllis.
