Angel of Grass
by Rose Bennington

An old legend says that in the beginning, when God created the world, He gave every living thing an angel to bless and guard it - an angel for man, one for the birds, one for the beasts of the forest, one for the trees, and one for the flowers.

Even the common grass had an angel. But the angel of the grass was not pleased. Humiliated, he said, \"I will have nothing to do with it. That old, homely grass can grow by itself!\"

The season passed. The grass shriveled, the flowers died because the grass held no dew, the deer in the forests and the cattle in the fields died because there was no grass.

Then God turned His eyes upon the angel of the grass and asked, \"Was it a small thing, or a great thing that I asked thee to do?\"

In shame the angel of the grass fell at the Lord\'s feet and begged His forgiveness, for he saw now the unsuspected greatness of his seemingly lowly task.
