1043 - GLEAM

CLArissa occasionally developEd some strange notions. Today she wanted to improve the look of nature. She started by cutting off every sepal of the flower heads of the flowers decorating the hallway so that the pretty petals showed up better. Next to the flowers was a bowl of lychees which she felt would look better if every scale was smoothed off. She stood back and she felt the flowers and lychees looked so much better. There was a gleam of delight in her eyes. But when her mother noticed the change she was horrified. "The flowers look ghastly and unnatural and the poor lychees are a mess; they will have to be peeled and eaten straight away as they won't last long like that."

That's one set of sepals removed
