The Legend of the Bleeding-Heart
The Legend of the Bleeding-Heart is a fairy tale by Annie F. Johnston, written in the early 20th century. The story follows a kind-hearted Flax-spinner who adopts an orphaned girl named Olga, showering her with love and making sacrifices for her well-being. As Olga grows more beautiful and attends royal balls, she forgets the Flax-spinner's kindness, leading to misfortune that teaches her the value of gratitude and remembrance. The tale highlights themes of sacrifice and the enduring power of love, symbolized by the blooming of 'bleeding-heart' flowers.
