Neeti’s Kitchen Garden
Neeti had a lovely kitchen garden in the backyard of her
house. The garden had so many colourful vegetables
divided in parts. There was a huge mango tree at one
corner of the garden.

The raw and ripe mangoes hanging on tree looked wonderful.
But the sad part was the tree and the vegetables hated each other like enemies. The vegetables did not get enough
sunlight due to tree’s shadow. The tree too was unhappy as it got very less water.
During summer season all the vegetables said, “Let us drink all the water. Let the tree die without water.” Seeing this the tree
also decided not to give them shade. “Let them burn in the hot sun and die, why should I care.” And slowly both of them
started drying and burning.
Neeti saw her beautiful garden was withering, The tree had fewer leaves. She could not see ripe mangoes and vegetables.
The colour of the vegetables was also fading due to heat of the sun. She was

sad to see this and said to herself, “Now the mali would not water these plants. He will uproot the garden and grow new plants.”
She thought for a while, “Let me grow some good plants. This will make the garden look beautiful again.”

She bought some saplings and planted them. The gardener started taking care of it. Soon the flowers bloomed and once again the garden looked beautiful.
Now the vegetables and tree realised that it was better to help each other. We should not fight but work together. So they decided to give shade and water to each other so that they live long. Neeti was happy to see her garden bloom again.
