Just a story that was in my mind

Once upon a time long ago, there were a group of villagers who lived at the bottom of a very large and monstrous volcano. The volcano had a mind all of its own and would sometimes rain down ash and lava consuming all that was in its path. In order to keep the volcano happy, the village elder who was a very wise and powerful man thought of a plan. He decided that they would grow fire flowers at the very top of the volcano in order to bring about friendship between the mountain and the people. Fire flowers were a very rare and unique breed of plants, they grow only in lava but when they blossomed, they were a sight to see. Brilliant red petals with a stem as black as coal, no other flower could compare in beauty.
The village elder decided that growing fire flowers were indeed a dangerous task so he alone decided to make the journey to the top. It took him 5 days but as he came close to his destination the volcano began spewing fire everywhere, the village elder quickly grabbed his seeds and threw them in. When the smoke cleared the volcano was quiet, all the villagers looked up as the flowers began to grow. The village elder wiped his brow and began his descent down to the bottom. Thanks to him, the village was safe.
