Fern loved the quiet corners of the garden. Wearing her striped jumper and muddy green wellies, she dug in the soft earth.

Suddenly, her spade hit something hard. It was a glowing, golden seed, humming with a gentle, warm light.

Her neighbour, Tom, sat lonely on the fence. He looked sad, watching the other children play far away.

Fern waved warmly. "Would you like to help me plant this, Tom?" she asked, offering her spare trowel.
