Plant Also Can Talk   

by Michał Kliński, class 8b

 

It is another boring day in the life of a plant. The same cannot be said about a human day. A plant is staring at the sun through the window but humans can go outside and do something.

• Another day in my boring live - Plant 
• Who said that? - Human
• Oh My Photosynthesis! You can hear me?
• Yes I can but, Who are you? 
• See that plant on the table?
• Yes I see 
• Touch it!
• But why? This is weird
• Just Do it 
• Ok i did it 
• Wrong plant, you touched Stanisław. Im standing next to him 
• Wait What?! You are a plant 
• Yes sure i am 
• But how ?
• I'm gonna say it to you but I need to be watered first because I didn't have anything to drink for the past 3 days !

(Human watering the plant)

• Are you good now?
• Yes, By the why you are made 70% out of water?
• I don't know why I contain that large amount of water but how are you talking to me?
• I really don't know how, I don't even have a mouth,eyes or ears but I can still feel, hear, see, smell, taste and and hear sounds.
• You said that you can hear 2 times 
• No I didn't
• Yes you did, Anyways I still don't understand 
• What can't you understand?
• Im talking with plant I think that this is all fake because i can't imagine how you can talk and I just don't believe that this is real
• You know that this didn't had even tiny amount of sense
• OK, But I'm going to be late for my job
• Job?
• I Work to get money that i can afford to feed my family and buy stuff 
• Familly? What is familly?
• Family consist of  Me my wife, kids and other important people or things that also include you
• But is family really important?
• Nothing is more important than Family, It is a group of people that u really love
• Ok but what does buy mean? 

 

• For example You belong to me because I bought you also I have cat, I posses this piece off earth and i own this house 
• Cat?! That little thing that bit me in the leaf I hate him
• But i like him he is not always like this 
• Ok but i want him out of this house 
• I would prefer to not do it 
• Why?
• There are more of your brothers outside 
• Oh no Don't let him outside please he is going to hurt my brothers and sisters 
• OK, But still that doesn't seem right
• What do you mean  by saying that doesn't seem right?
• Talking to you don't seem right
• Why?! Whatever I suppose you forgot about something  
• I doubt I forgot about something. Oh shoot I remember now, JOB!
• Exactly that will cost you a lot of your money
