The Tomato Plant Tragedy

Once there was this girl and all she wanted was to have a green thumb. So she thought she would try to do a tomato plant in a topsy turvy. It was not as easy as she thought it would be to get the plant inside there. She watered and fertilized the plant often, but no tomatoes came. One day the plant started flowering and suddenly there wer 13 baby tomatoes on her plant. She was so excited and couldn't wait for the day to no longer buy tomatoes, but to eat her own.

One night a tragedy struck. During the middle of Spring, she awoke to find ice all on her car and immediately ran to her plant. This is what she found.

She didn't know what to do and so she told her husband. When she went to work he decided that he would move the plant to the garage for a few days. Later that morning she got a call from her husband. He told her that she could no longer water her plant because he climbed up to move the plant and found mean eyes staring at him ready to bite him! There was a bird inside the top of that plant. Not only was there a bird, but there was a nest with eggs!!!

That morning with the cold she had just put 1 liter of water in the plant, but yet the bird still stayed with its nest. She didn't want to give up her plant, her first chance at a green thumb. Alas, because of the birds nest the bird had been pushing the plant down further breaking most of the trunk of the plant...it was inevitable that the plant would die.

So ends the tragedy of the tomato plant. Hopefully it will bring life to a different part of nature.

Hilarious! So, do you have baby birds yet? Can you imagine that poor bird sitting there while you poured all that water on his head daily? LOL!
