Oliver the Okra Tries Something New

The Kind Garden Episode 1: Oliver the Okra Tries Something New In a quiet little

garden, where the sun liked to rest and the breeze whispered softly,

lived an okra named Oliver. Oliver was small. And green. And very,

very quiet. Oliver liked to listen. He listened to the bees humming.

He listened to the leaves swaying. He listened to the other vegetables laughing and playing.

But Oliver didn’t say much. One morning, the vegetables were choosing teams to

play Garden Ball. “Over here!” called Bella the Bell Pepper, bright and cheerful. “Join us!” said

Timmy Tomato, bouncing happily. Oliver stood very still. He wanted to play.
