The Story of a Tomato

Warning: This is a tragedy... not a comedy.

There once was a little teeny-tiny tomato on a plant in our backyard.

It had beaten all odds in actually starting its life at all. 

Every day we watched it eagerly as it very slowly grew just the teensiest bit larger.

We made sure that it had a strong fence to lean on so it wouldn't fall down and rot on the ground. 

But... all of our watching and waiting and care was for not.

Because, in the bright light of day, a young man came towards the vulnerable little tomato yielding a sword of power (read: Light Saber). 

And that was the end of the great hopes we had for our tomato.

So Sad.

Love, Us.
