Growth Spurt

There once was a little boy who loved school. He was a very competitive boy, and loved to be the best at everything he did. One day he came home from school with a small cucumber sprout.

"Mrs. King says it won't grow", he said, dejectedly. "I'm going to water it every day and see if I can get it to grow".

And so he did.

Every day.

For 5 days.

"It's just not growing!", he exclaimed.

Luckily, this little boy's Grandma H, who has a Green Thumb, was visiting.
She told the little boy, "Be patient. Things like this take time".

A trip to Wal-Mart, and $2.00 later, that cucumber plant had an immediate growth spurt!

And then the little boy was happy and none the wiser!
