I am new to the city. I do not know anyone. But an old woman lives next door. Her name is Val. Shegives me a big box of vegetables.
She grows them in a garden by the sidewalk. There are corns, eggplants, carrots, tomatoes, beans,
and peas. They are the best vegetables I ever ate. Val lives alone, too. But she seems happy in her
garden. She loves plants. Sometimes, I can hear her talking to them. Maybe that is why they grow so
big.
One day, I stop seeing Val in the garden. I see people take many boxes from her home. Weeds grow
in her garden. The dirt is dry. The plants look sad. Val must have passed on.
Sol pull the weeds. I water the garden. I even talk to the plants,
Then a family moves next door. They are new to the city. They do not know anyone. And I give them
a big box of vegetables from Val's garden.
