For me, this tiny story is one of those invaluably unique examples. On the other hand, sometimes you can invest as much as ten or twenty minutes in a short story, and be rewarded just the same, or even immensely more! Short stories may not have a detailed setting, a complex plot or unforgettable characters, yet just the same they can sometimes leave you a message that will truly stay with you forever, and just for the price of a couple of minutes. You can invest hours, days, weeks or even months in a long book and it can either be bad, good, or, if you are lucky enough, a perfect ten. This was just PERFECT! This is exactly why I love short stories. A compassionate nightingale feels so moved by his deep sorrow that decides to help him win her heart. A young student is madly in love with the professor’s daughter, but she won’t go to the dance with him without red roses.
