[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1134790, member: 1246"] THE BUTTERCUP Ranunculus was a young boy who lived many, many years ago, and he always dressed from head to toe in gold and green silk. He spent his days, from dawn to dusk, running round the trees of the forest singing in a beautiful, clear, high-pitched voice. This was lovely to hear for a short time, however he never stopped running and singing. The wood nymphs, realising this was disturbing the peace of the forest and all the creatures in it, turned him into a buttercup and sent him out into the open meadow to live; thereby restoring peace and harmony to the forest. (The buttercup has a bitter taste, animals won't eat it, and it has no known medicinal use.) (The sap is an irritant and in Medieval times beggars would rub the buttercup on their skin to produce sores in the hope of getting sympathy and more money given to them.) [/QUOTE]
