Oregano and the Wise Gardener

Once upon a time there was a wise gardener who grew aromatic herbs in his garden. Among all of them, oregano was his favorite. The gardener lovingly cared for each plant, providing them with water, sunlight and natural nutrients.

One day, a small oregano seedling said to the wise gardener, "Why do you take care of me so much? What makes me special?" The gardener smiled and replied, "Dear oregano plant, every living thing has its unique purpose and beauty. You, with your distinctive aroma and taste, add joy and flavor to people's lives. In addition, oregano has beneficial health properties and can be used in different culinary and therapeutic contexts."

The oregano plant felt happy and grateful for the words of the wise gardener. From that day on, it grew with more vitality and became one of the most beautiful plants in the garden.
