"The Vegetable Kingdom"

 

We, the vegetables, are quite upset. People know so little about all the good things we do for them! We feed them, and we help them when they're sick in so many ways. We give them the very best present there is: all the warmth of the sun that our leaves gather, and all the moisture of the earth collected by our roots. How we could possibly tell you about all these wonderful treasures. What should we do? Did somebody say, "Ask the scientists to write books about vegetables"? Hm! They've already written all sorts of books about us. But grown-ups don't read them to children, and children need vegetables more than anyone else! So, to help us make friends with the children, we decided to tell you all these stories.

THE PUMPKIN FAMILY

"Visiting Lady Pumpkin"

 

The garden surrounding the cottage seemed like a jungle to the boy. He remembered how, in spring, he had dug up the vegetable patches and planted seeds with his mum. At that time, the ground in the garden was completely bare. But now the vegetables had grown so much that his mother was completely hidden.

The boy walked down the path and suddenly spotted his mum sitting on the ground clutching her chest. She forced herself to smile and said:

‘It's all right son, our vegetables will make me better. They will get rid of the unhealthy cells from my heart and new, strong, healthy ones will grow in their place…'

The boy interrupted his mother in alarm.

‘We need to call a doctor!'

He helped his mother .....

.... The pumpkin is the head of the gourd family, or the pumpkin family, and it is the biggest vegetable which grows in the ground. It contains so many vitamins that they can't even be counted. We are really good for the stomach and the intestines. Today you've eaten lots of different pumpkin dishes and you haven't felt any heaviness in your stomach, have you?' Lady Pumpkin asked. ....
