What do you get when you plant TOENAILS?
Ashley S Moore
ROSE TOES
One day in 1989, a little boy and little girl had to have their toenails cut. As their Mom clipped away they screamed and cried. The clever little girl decided to plant their toenails. She imaged that they would grow just like a plant or maybe like the magic beans in children’s book she had read. The little girl took a planter and some rich soil to start her own magic. Then she added their toenails together and watered the mixture with an old red watering can. As their mom and dad were watching in disbelief they whispered “that’s impossible”. The clever little girl said “ watch and you will see”. Overnight something mysterious happened. Little toes were dancing all over the planter. The little boy and girl suddenly were awakened and shouted “ WHAT’S THAT RACKET DOWN THERE”? They ran downstairs their mouth dropped opened. The clever girl yelled SILENCE!!! For a minute everything was quiet. The toes seemed to be looking at the little boy and girl. The planter started to shake…. And what do you think happened next? The planter cracked open and tiny feet jumped out. The clever girl and the scared little boy ran outside and into to the woods. The feet followed them. Who do you think was the fastest? _________________________ Are you sure?
The clever girl ran the fastest with the scared little boy trailing behind. It was starting to get dark and they did not know where they were going. The tiny feet were not far behind. They landed in a rose garden and the tiny feet jumped in after them. The feet fell in love with the roses and that is where the tiny feet got their name. Rose toes. The girl and little boy started home the did not follow them.
