Happy Canada Day
“Jayden, come quick,” called Jayden’s neighbor, Mrs. Jones. “I want to show you what is growing in my garden.”
“Be right there,” replied Jayden.
Jayden crossed over her lush green lawn and went over to Mrs. Jones’ vibrant garden.
“Look here,” pointed Mrs. Jones, her eyes gleaming with pride. “I have my very own Canada Day flower.”
Jayden took a good look at the flower Mrs. Jones was pointing to. It was a cluster of red and white flowers that stood out vividly against the green foliage, but it was definitely not the same variety as the Canada Day flower that was blooming in her own garden.
“Those are beautiful red and white flowers,” complimented Jayden warmly.
“But they aren’t like your Canada Day flower,” remarked Mr. Jones, joining them outside with a curious gaze.
“No,” admitted Jayden truthfully yet kindly. “They aren’t like the one I have in my garden; however, there is no reason these can’t be your special Canada Day flowers.”
“Yes,” agreed Mrs. Jones enthusiastically, embracing this new perspective on her blooms. “They can be my unique version of a Canada Day flower.”
“Okay,” conceded Mr. Jones thoughtfully after considering it for a moment. “I suppose that is true.”
“I do see you’ve taken very good care of them; they’re thriving with plenty of rich soil and have been watered properly—a testament to your dedication,” observed Jayden appreciatively.
“Thank you,” said Mrs. Jones with gratitude. “I have learned quite a bit from watching you nurture your plants.”
“I am happy that you have been paying attention so diligently,” said Jayden. “Between your well-tended garden and mine brimming with life, I think we are going to make this Canada Day exceptionally colorful and memorable.”
“I agree wholeheartedly,” declared Mrs. Jones. “Happy Canada Day!”
“And Happy Canada Day to us all!” exclaimed Jayden as they all shared smiles under the warm summer sun—a true celebration of growth, community, and the beauty of nature.
