“Dandelion is a cure for lung disease.”
Dandelion is a cure for lung disease. It is a yellow flower and there is a story told how it got that yellow colour.
Long ago it is said that a girl had very black hair and she dyed it yellow. One day she was picking Dandelion for her mother who was sick and it began to rain heavily. It rained for a long time and there was no place to go for shelter. After a long time the girls hair began to run and all the yellow dye dropped on the Dandelion. So after that the Dandelion was a very yellow colour.
