Racism Is Gone?

My name is Beuiol and I'm a Violet.

I wasn't always as I now am---I used to be a hater of the Roses...

Then, I became more enlightened and felt the Roses were just fine if they stayed in their place...

Then, I had a great shock---one of my fellow Violets, Seloit, mated with a Rose, Straxsr, and had a litter of Fuchsias...

I went into a tizzy...

I had to question my morals---very hard task when my life had been relatively set and somewhat tranquil...

Then, the crisis deepened and widened...

Crisis on crisis...

My Daughter, a pure Violet, wanted to marry a Fuchsia.........

I moaned at her and she groaned at me; but, it seemed there was nothing to do but disown her...

Seloit got word of my plight and came over specially to counsel me---she brought her litter of Fuchsias with her...

I couldn't avoid it---the little Fuchsias were cute...

They were also extremely intelligent for their young age...

I had to reach the only possible conclusion---the hardest choice of my life...

I was a complete fool...

To think I would contemplate disowning my dear daughter just because she fell in love with a Fuchsia...

What a fool I was; and, what a lovely bunch of Orchids my daughter gave birth to.........
