The New Field

Copyright, Josephine Kennedy 2013

Once, there was a dark field. It was super quiet, and no animals lived there. There was very little grass, and no flowers because they couldn't grow without the sun. The field had trash all over the grass and a smell of rotten garbage.

One day a boy came along. His name was Sam, and he was six years old. He has black hair and was very short and skinny. He was nice and kind. Sam felt sorry for the field and he wanted to help.

First, he cleaned up all the trash, and then he went home to get some flower seeds to plant. He came back with the seeds the next day, and planted them in the ground. A few days later, he came back and the seeds had sprouted. While he waited for his plants to grow, he sang to them. He read to them; he also played music for them. Soon, his plants had grown to become beautiful flowers.

Now the field was very beautiful. It had grass and flowers; the sun shone and animals lived there. Then Sam went to get his mother and father, to show them how beautiful his flowers looked. They said, "This looks very beautiful." And Sam was very happy.
