The Shy Bean Sprout's

And I told them thier blossoms would be different, but just as beautiful.





Hi everyone,

Today I thought would be a good day to take a little journey through my garden.

First I walked down to the berry patch to see my favorite ----strawberrys!

I found some nice red juicy berrys , so I stuffed some in my mouth and picked a little basket full to take back to my moms. They were sooo good.

Then I stopped and smelled the big orange carrot tops. Next, I peeked into the tomatoe plants to see what I could see- and there were blossoms- as many as the stars in the sky.

I made my way down to the bean patch and was surprised at how all the little bean plants were starting to climb up their ladders.

All except,,, two little bean sprouts that seemed to be peeking out of the soil, but not starting to climb their ladders. I was worried, so I decided to sit for awhile. I pulled a big carrot out of the ground and plopped my little self down on it.

I sat quietly for awhile, thinking, and then I said. "Little bean sprout , can you tell me why your not coming out of the soil like the other little beans?" "Is something wrong"?

One little bean sprout, then told me, that they had gotten a late start. They were a different kind of bean than all the others, and they felt a little shy. They were going to have speckles on them, and the others did not. They did not know what to do. They felt out of place, and maybe could not catch up.

After thinking a bit, I told the bean sprouts that they would have a different kind of blossom when they grew up, but that they would be beautiful too. "Don't give up little bean sprouts".

Just wiggle your toes and stretch.

Sometimes, we all feel like we are behind and we ask ourselves----should we stop, or should we go? I know I have felt that way. Have you?

As I sat on the carrot, talking to the shy bean sprouts, rain started falling from the sky.

I was getting soaked, and cold.

When I started to leave the bean patch, I turned and looked behind me. The bean sprouts were stretching their faces up into the sky- soaking in the sweet rain.

I have a good feeling that they will be growing tall- real soon, and blooming proudly.

I grabbed my strawberry basket in my mouth, and ran to the house, fast as I could go.

Mama was at the door, to wipe my muddy feet and to dry me off with some nice warm towels, and wash my berry stained mouth.

I will take a nice little nap, since my tummy is very full of strawberrys.

Tomorrow, I will go back and see how much they have grown.

Nitey nite everyone

love
