The Garden Fairy

It was a hot afternoon and Wendy looked out of the classroom window. Then the teacher said the word 'prize'. Wendy sat up and listened. '

Each student is going to grow a pumpkin. There is going to be a prize for the biggest pumpkin,' said the teacher.

Wendy was happy. 'I'm going to win!' she thought. 'I'm going to grow the biggest pumpkin!'

‘You can grow the pumpkins in your gardens,' said the teacher. 'You have four months.' The teacher gave each student ten pumpkin seeds. 'Oh no!' thought Wendy. 'I haven't got a garden.' Wendy's family

lived in a small flat. It had no garden.

Lucy laughed at Wendy. 'Ha ha! You haven't got a garden!' she said. 'You're too poor. You can't grow a pumpkin.' Wendy was angry and sad.

Then Wendy thought, 'I can grow my pumpkin in a pot.' After school she went to the shops. She bought a big pot. She went home by bus, and put the pot on the balcony. Now she was not sad or an ry. She was happy.
