The Gift of Nature

Four-year-old Anaya loved talking to the plants in her yard chatting with their green leaves telling stories and singing to them. One day her mother told her that if she cared for the plants they might give her a gift—a sweet fruit. Excited Anaya watered her plant every day ensuring it got enough sunlight and attention. As she patiently cared for it she eagerly awaited the gift her mother promised filled with wonder and hope for the future.
