The Money Tree (Children)

I dreamed I grew a money tree outside in my yard. My job was to care for it and I worked very hard. I saw that it was watered. It grew so straight and tall and when the money ripened I picked it in the fall. The flowers were green dollar bills, the seeds inside were coins, and others grew and glittered where all the branches joined. On windy days I stood below and held a great big bucket. Other days I climbed right up to find one ripe and pluck it. People say that money doesn't really grow on trees. I know. I only wish it did just like in my dreams.
