17.I still remembered that when I was 7years old,I stayed in the garden with Linda every Sunday.The tomato plants quickly became my favorite.I would sit on the ground,looking at them quietly. "Linda,"I asked one day."Should I take off all these little yellow flowers?" "No,darling,"she said gently."Those flowers will turn into tomatoes soon." "Really?" "You just wait.Soon you'll see that little things can turn into wonderful things.You should remember that." Every Sunday I returned to the garden to check on the plants,and each time I saw more tomatoes. "Are there so many because I take good care of the plants?"I asked. "Yes,"Linda said."When you look after things,good things will grow.You should remember that." For weeks I returned every day to Linda's to see how my plants were doing,and each time I was proud to see more tomatoes.Until one day,they stopped appearing,and a few days later,there were none. "Linda,what's wrong with my plants?"I asked tearfully."They're not growing anymore." "That's what happens,darling.Things grow and then stop.Nothing lasts forever." "But I was so good to them." "Yes,but things end,so new things can start,"she said."Seasons change,but for everything that ends,something new will take its place." "I'll remember that,"I said with a smile on my face.
