The Mysterious Garden


One day there was a very hungry and homeless person named Alfred. He asked so many people for food his throat became sore. "That's it!" he said. "I'm asking one more person and if they say no, I'm finding food on my own." As he said, he asked a very old man for food. The man said that he did not have food but he knew a garden that he steals food from. Alfred ran to the garden, and what do you know, there was the garden. Alfred booked inside the unlocked gate and picked up a tomato. He raised the tomato to his mouth and right before he bit it he heard, "You put that down or I'll make you." Alfred knew he got caught. Right away he jumped into a bush with the tomato still in his hands. He peered all over the garden and saw no one. "False alarm," he said. Again he heard, "put that down now!" The voice was getting angry and scary but still Alfred saw no one. Once more he raised the tomato to his mouth. "That's it!" the voice said. All of a sudden, an orange carrot leaped right on top of Alfred. "Ahhh!" Alfred screamed. "Get this thing off of me!" Going through all this, Alfred thought to himself, "This old man set me up, he never came here; he must be the owner of this garden." Next thing you know, Alfred was tied up with roots by a Maple Tree. "Thanks Maple," the carrot said. "No problem," the tree said in a low voice. "What should we do with him?" the tomato asked. "Nothing!" Alfred exclaimed. "Just let me go, I'll never come back!" "Fair enough," the carrot said. Alfred ran away from the garden and never came back again.
