One day, a little seed started to sprout in the garden. The gardener was very happy and decided to spray water on it every morning. Although the plant was small, it was special because it grew faster than the others.

One morning, the gardener went down to the cellar to get more tools. He noticed something strange. There was an occasional knot in the rope that was left on the floor. He bent down to kneel and pick it up but accidentally tripped.

In the garden, a cheeky squirrel ran around, sniffing with its tiny nostrils. It didn’t seem to care about anything except finding some nuts!

What did the gardener do every morning to the plant?

• He sprayed water on it.

• He picked flowers.

• He planted new seeds.

• He forgot about the plant.
