LUCA & HIS PLANT
BY
QIAN YU
“My dear boy, I have something for you.”
One day, Luca received a potted plant from his father.
After a week,
the plant did not grow.
“Why won’t the plant grow?”
Luca was puzzled.
He left his lamp on all night.
But the seeds still did not grow.
He watered the plant with so much water. But the seeds still did not grow.
He slept in the forest with his plant. But the seeds still did not grow.
After so many tries, the seeds still did not grow. Luca was confused.
He thought,
if I leave the plant alone, maybe it will grow on its own. And so he did.
“Bye plant.”
When he returned,
the plant had grown.
Luca realised that everything will develop at its own pace when given freedom.
Let life flow. Don’t force it.
