Once Dull, Now Beautiful

By Michael M., Age 10, Monroe County

Rachel was new to the neighborhood in Pennsylvania. Rachel loved the environment. She really loved plants the most. Rachel was sad because everyone in her neighborhood did not care about the environment. So she gave Mrs. Heartman a plant. Mrs. Heartman said, "thank you" and put it on her window sill.

Four days later, Rachel went to Mrs. Heartman and said "where is the plant I gave you?" She said it died today. Rachel was sad because Mrs. Heartman did
not care at all, the same with everyone else. So Rachel had an idea. She was
going to plant all different trees, some with fruit. She was going to grow
flowers and Rachel did. Now five years later her town is beautiful and every-
one cares about the environment.
