Ella sat at her desk, eyes wide with curiosity, as Ms. Smith held up a small red flower.
- Does anyone know what this is? Ms. Smith asked. - It's a poppy, Ella replied eagerly, remembering her mom's stories. Ms. Smith nodded, explaining how poppies are worn on Remembrance Day to honor those who served.
Ms. Smith continued, her voice soft as she described the muddy battlefields where poppies grew after the First World War.
Ella's eyes sparkled with curiosity, but she felt a pang of sadness thinking about the soldiers who fought bravely.
As Ella walked home, she admired the poppy Ms. Smith gave her. To her amazement, it began to glow brightly.
- Hi, Ella! a cheerful voice said. Startled, Ella looked around and realized it was the poppy speaking. - I'm Benny, and I'm here to teach you more about Remembrance Day! the poppy continued.
Benny explained that people from Bermuda had helped in the wars too, which surprised Ella.
Suddenly, Ella found herself on an old street, watching soldiers wave goodbye to their families.
- They left everything behind to protect peace, Benny said softly, as Ella watched a soldier hug his family goodbye.
Ella whispered, feeling overwhelmed, - It must have been so hard to leave home. Benny nodded in agreement, reminding Ella of the courage it took.
Suddenly, Ella was back in the present, standing before Bermuda's War Memorial with an elderly man.
Mr. Johnson smiled kindly, explaining, - I was one of those soldiers. We wear the poppy to remember those who didn't come back.
On Remembrance Day, Ella and her classmates proudly watched soldiers march in a parade.
The sound of a bugle filled the air, its haunting notes bringing a hush over the crowd.
Ella clutched her poppy tightly, whispering to Benny in her pocket, - Now I understand. The poppy is our way of saying thank you.
Ella placed her poppy on the memorial, surrounded by others doing the same. - Thank you for your bravery and sacrifice, she whispered.
Bursting through her front door, Ella exclaimed, - Mom! Dad! Did you know why we wear poppies?
- We'll all wear our poppies on Remembrance Day, her dad said with pride. Ella smiled, feeling a sense of connection with the past.
In her room, Benny glowed softly on her dresser, as Ella framed the poppy on her wall.
Ella whispered to Benny, - Thank you for teaching me. Benny glowed warmly, - That's what remembrance is all about.
