Prize Tomatoes

Story by Fraser Milne

Over these past nine years, Mr Drake has been growing prize-winning tomatoes.

2

On a fine day he uses a rake to mix snake bones and pine cones into the soil.

3

If there is a frost, he will light a fire to keep the tomatoes warm.

4

He feels complete when he sees the tomatoes shine in the light of the flames.

5

Mr Drake kisses and hugs his tomatoes.

His wife says he treats the tomatoes like they are his children.

6

In June, when it is time to compete, he picks five ripe ones to take to the venue.

7

This year Mr Drake’s tomatoes outshined all the others, and he won the prize.
