The Scare-crow And The Little Girl 11
“What a lovely garden. How did you make it?” So I asked the Gardener and he said:
God granted me a little plot of earth. The rain came, the sun shone and the wind carried seeds. Then the soil became a seedbed, tiny plants were germinating. I dug a well to water them and they changed into ferns, chevelures, plants with beautiful flowers and some even into big trees. I haven’t expensive, special roses, only wild roses, wild flowers and wild plants. Sometimes I took back home seeds of plants which I liked to have in my garden. Sure, you could plant any plant you like if your plot of earth has sufficient room to support, you diligently water and care for it.
I made a little pond, connected it with a ditch. Water plants, – I planted a wild water-lily, a lotus, a willow -, fish, freshwater shrimps, crabs, frogs, a little turtle, dragon-, damselflies settled there. Butterflies, bees, crickets, cicada’s, lizards, squirrel and in the evening, bats, fireflies visited while birds were nesting in my garden. I have built my self a little cottage, - my nest - and am so grateful, my little plot of land changed into a paradise.
“Well, how able you are,” I said, “though you haven’t got a proper education, never studied gardening or bought expensive flowering plants, yet you managed to create a paradise.
So am I congratulating myself, as I’m myself that gardener. Don’t you think I’m courageous saying it?
