The Young Gardener




"Aargh, my hands are dirty." cried a five-year-old Pedro as he raises them in the air and flaps them irritatingly. 


"That's alright," came the mom to his rescue as she dusted them off and kissed those fingertips, "Look at the plant you just put in the soil."


Little Pedro saw the marigold and went his way. 


A week went by; the tiny plant had two new buds. 


Pedro was noticing it all this while. 


Then one fine day, mom saw him bend over and kiss the flower. 


"The flower is so happy," he said as he clapped his hands.
