Summary
Allie meets Anora at the garden. There are just too many ripe vegetables for the sharing stand. They need a better plan…
Narrator: Male
Story Begins: 3:42
Plenty to Share Excerpt:
With the wagon ready, Allie, Anora, Mr. O’Leary, Mrs. Lewis, and Daisy set off down the neighborhood streets. The girls took turns pulling the wagon’s handle, feeling proud to share the garden’s goodness.
At the first house, Allie rang the doorbell and Anora waved. When a neighbor opened the door, the girls said, “We brought you some vegetables from the community garden!” The neighbor smiled, thanked them, and chose a few bell peppers.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine that you are a graceful willow tree in today’s meditation.
