Wisteria flower

Concerning wisteria flower, there is an old beautiful story went that: a pretty girl, who desired a tender passion, so she prayed the matchmaker wearing red clothes to bring her dream off every day. Finally, the matchmaker wearing red clothes was much moved by her God-fearing heart, and said to her in her dream, when the spring was in arrival, in the small grove behind the mountain, she would meet a handsome boy who wore white clothes, which was her tender passion prayed for the matchmaker.
Till the day when it was warm and blooming, the God-fearing girl went alone to the grove keeping the appointment, and awaited her tender passion ─the handsome boy′s arrival. But till the nightfall, the boy did not appear yet, she felt very lost, at that moment, yet she was bit in the ankle by a snake. She could not walk and go home; she was full of fear in heart. When she felt despair and helpless, the boy appeared, she cried for help with surprise, the boy went up to her and sucked the snake poison out of her ankle, from that time, she fell in love with him deeply.
But the boy was born in a poor family; both their parents were against their marriage, finally, they jumped down the cliff together. A tree grew up at the edge of the cliff where they jumped down for their feelings, which wrapped of a vine accidentally, and the vine bloomed with beautiful flowers, the flowers was purple with blue, shining as clouds.
Many years later, people called the flowers on the vine wisteria flower, for the wisteria flower could not live alone, but wrap the tree to live, some people said the wisteria flower was the girl′s soul, the tree was the boy′s soul. Wisteria lived for emotion, but died without love.
