There was a jade plant for many years that lived in a pot first, in an apartment, then in a house

It sat by the window watching the world

And listened intently to its caretakers words

She would stroke it and sing to it and share any woes

And tell it its beautiful and water it with fresh spri g water and sometimes seaweed water and sonetimes dusted it with a banana peel

She went away and left it with her mother

And reurned two years later and the jade plant had grown!

She put it gently into a new larger pot but the jade plant was too weak in the fluffy new potting soil and coukdnt stand up straight

It leaned in the window

And one day she put seeds into many pots and hadnt room for one so put it to sprout with the jade

A month later a cherry tree baby grew

And they both leaned on the window

The girl left after a great human storm quaked tye house

And when she reurned a week later she was delighted to see the cherry tree upright and strong

Carrying the jade pkant to be upright too

She wondered what to do, leave the friends supporting each other or give the chery tree a new home outside where it coukd quickklly grow largd and bear fruit

She dreamt of the cherry tree that night
