Tom Dyson tried to find out what his new machine could do. One day he fixed the small box to a flowering plant that was growing in a pot. He didn’t say anything at all, but he began to think some cruel thoughts.

“I’m going to cut off these flowers. They’re getting old and ugly. So I’ll cut them off…”

The needle on the machine climbed quickly from-zero to 8, then 10,12,15. It stopped at 17. The plant was in trouble! Something was worrying it. Was it fear or sadness? The thought of being cut? The flowers bent their heads. They suddenly looked old and tired, and Tome felt sorry for them.

“No, no!” he cried.”I won’t cut you. You’re my friends. I just want you to grow and be lovely. I’ll take you outside, into the sunshine. You’ll like that, won’t you?”

The flowers lifted their heads slowly and seemed to smile at him. The needle returned to zero. Tom put away the machine, picked up the plant, and walked outside. It was very nice in the garden that morning.

All plants enjoy their owner’s love and care and kindness. They know the sound of their voice. They also seem to understand people’s thoughts. So if you have flowers of your own, think about them with love. They will return your kindness in the only way they can; they will  grow strong and beautiful.
