Rabbit And Bean (Children)

A carrot top, all olive green was growing next to a green bean. Said carrot, 'what's your date of birth when did they plant you in the earth? ' The bean, not certain of the date was not equipped for a debate and, with a quick and final nod she turned away her swollen pod. The carrot, itching for a fight said 'how's the weather at that height? You beans are always heavenbound, we carrots do prefer the ground.' The bean ignored the silly tease and swayed with pleasure in the breeze. A rabbit who was homeward bound pulled up the carrot from the ground. Since rabbits do not climb or fly they normally don't eye the sky. The bean was sad to see him go, but quite content to grow and grow. You see, all beans are really mothers, not cousins, nephews, uncles, brothers. The carrot being a big lad would never be the least bit sad if birds or rabbits came and stole a thousand beans from the tall pole. Boy carrots may believe in fashion but it's the girls who have compassion.
