“Is this good to eat?”
The children stumbled into
the garden
They had never seen such a
variety of vegetables and fruits
Tomatoes, strawberries,
carrots, apples, peaches, cucumbers
“Is this good to eat?”
Mark asked again holding
some peapods in his hand
“Mother would love them!”
Rebecca cheered
But Gary did not think it
was good to be in the garden
“Put that down,” Gary demanded
Gary did not think these
things grew together
They should not grow
together
“It’s not good to eat! It’s
a trick!” Gary screamed
But it was too late his
brother and sister fell under a spell
“Yum. Delicious!” Mark chewed
into the rind of an orange
“Yum. Delicious!” Rebecca
ate a kiwi then nibbled on a piece of lettuce
Gary wept as he ran home
quickly
Gary wept when he told his
mother that her children were dead
They were poisoned by the
thought that they could have it all
