Grandpa’ s PlantGrandpa and Grandma went to buy some plants. “ I’ ll buy a tomato

plant,” said Grandpa.

He picked up a pot with a small plant in it. “ I’ ll take this one.” he said.

“ Is it a tomato plant?” Grandma asked.

“ Of course!” Grandpa Laughed.

Grandpa took the plant home. He watered it every day. “ soon, we’ ll have many tomatoes,” Grandpa said. He waited and waited.

It was covered all over…with bright orange flowers!
