In Indonesia, we don't know spring because, in the tropical country we live in, there are only two seasons: the dry season and the rainy season.

Currently, the rainy season is underway. Yeah, the rain has returned to the land that was once dry and now fertile again; the grass that was previously yellow is now green again; the trees whose leaves had fallen are now green again; and the flowers are now beginning to bloom and spread fragrantly.

He sucked up the sweet nectar to his heart's content and then moved on to another flower.

There was no more beautiful day for him than this moment. Yeah, the day when flowers bloom and nectar is abundant.
