Little Green Sprout

I popped through the cracked balcony door because the fresh air smelled like warm earth! Right on the painted railing sat an oblong ceramic planter full of dark, crumbly soil. Right in the middle was a tiny green shoot just poking its nose out, looking a little lonely. I hopped right in, nudged a smooth little round blue bead out of my secret ribbon folds, and planted it right next to the sprout like a cheerful berry buddy! Then I patted the loose soil around with my stubby arm to keep them snug. Now they have each other to grow with!
