Gavin

Gavin was a happy boy, loved every day was happy and polite and always stayed out of any trouble.

We should point out at this time that Gavin was a stick.

He started life as a tiny sprout atop a large gum tree in the park.

He was happy and healthy and loved his view, he liked nothing better than looking out over the park on a warm summers day with his branchy brothers and sisters and never wanted anything to change. He grew no leaves as he thought them to fancy and happily grew grew up towards the sun.

Then one cold winters day there was a large gust of wind that knocked him loose and he fell all the way to the ground

He was quite upset as he couldn't see far past the leaves and dirt and occasional car.

Then one afternoon a fellow wandered by and said "I think I can give you a home" he picked Gavin up and said "come with me to a place where you're needed and leave behind this garden bed that really should be weeded"

The fellow took him home and put him into a pot where he helped a young chilli stand tall.

He was much older now and was happy to guide his new chilli friend as he grew up stronger into this world.
