In Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale «Little Ida's Flowers», we meet a girl named Ida who notices her flowers have wilted. She asks a student why this happened, and he tells her that the flowers dance all night at balls and become tired and wilt during the day. Ida decides to hold a funeral for her flowers, just like for people, and plants them in the ground so they can rest and come back to life. At the end of the story, Ida dreams of her flowers coming to life and dancing, confirming the student's tales of their nightly balls.
