Bobby learned about plants. Seeds, soil, water, and sun.
Bobby found a seed. He dug up dirt. He put the dirt in a cup and the seed in the dirt. He put the cup under the faucet. He put the cup by a window.
The seed was going to be his own tree. He was going to put it in his yard. In
the back. It was going to be the biggest around and he could live in it
someday soon.
On Monday, just dirt.
On Tuesday, just dirt.
On Wednesday, just dirt. Maybe the seed was thirsty. He put the cup under the faucet and gave it a drink. He put the cup by a window.
On Thursday, just wet dirt.
On Friday, still just dirt. He asked his mom what was wrong. She said probably nothing. She said give it time. These things take time. But he wanted his tree now.
On Saturday, he did not check. He played with his friends. He ate dinner at Grandma's. He watched a movie about cars.
On
Sunday, he remembered his tree-to-be. He looked in the cup. In the middle stood a little white string with a little green thing on top. It was curvy. This was a going
to be a tree? Bobby was happy because it was growing but sad because it
was so slow. Maybe it was thirsty. He put the cup under the faucet and gave it a drink. He put the cup by a window.
On Monday, it wasn't any taller. Maybe it was hungry. He put more dirt on top to give it food. He put the cup by a window.
On Tuesday, just dirt. Maybe it needed more sun. But how? He put the cup outside on a railing.
