the silent tales. Life is a Story - story.one

Pauline Korb

When I was little, these little yellow flowers on paved streets and stone ground fascinated me. It seemed they were exceptionally strong, persevering even if all the odds were against them. Then I learned that this flower went through many stages in its life; one day it is yellow, then green and finally wears a white crown of seeds. That's when I decided then and there, while blowing off it's beautiful seed crown, that they are my favourite flower. And I wasn't to be fazed by those who told me this yellow beam of sunlight wasn't a flower at all but a wild, unwanted weed. It only made me love it more!

My name is Pauline Korb. I was born on the 2nd of July 2004 and grew up in the suburbs of a big town, and have since moved on to pursuit a career in economics. But my passion lies in every word I write and every story I tell. It lies in this very book.
