Story - Flourish

Flourish

Jacob received seed from his teacher, like all the other classmates. He planted the seed in a pretty pot and put it on his windowsill. He was waiting for it to sprout soon.

After four weeks, the seedling came out. Jacob was super excited.

However, when Jacob saw that his friends’ plants had already started flowering or grew a bud, he suddenly felt disappointed, because his plant grew so much slower than all the others’. He dropped the seedling pot from his hands, and the pot fell.

Next evening, Jacob saw the seedling when he came back; the seedling was listless. Jacob took pity on the wee seedling. He thought that he would keep looking after it no matter how slow it would grow or what it would grow to. A belief that this seedling would grow up as good as the other friends’ plants which built up in Jacob’s heart. He put the pot right and watered it.

From then on, Jacob looked after the plant very well. He was not only watering the plant but also doing a lot of actives with it, such as reading books, playing guitar or recorder, playing video games, painting, singing songs, dancing, exercising and so on. The plant grew up slow but nicely.

One morning, when Jacob woke up, he saw a flower on the plant was blooming to the sun. The petals were in rainbow colour, and the flower was waving as dancing. While it was waving, there seem to be music notes and letters came out. The music notes and letters made up a glowing ring, which was spinning on the top of the flower. Jacob carefully hugged the flower with the brightest smile.
