Saving Doris

Doris was a beet who was well-loved she was symmetrically and artistically beautiful. the entire garden decided to hide her, because they could not bear to see her eaten carrots, radishes, green beans and peas took turns camouflaging Doris, so the eaters would not notice her. she thrived all summer long, getting bigger and bigger by the time the farmers noticed her, she had petrified. weirdly enough, Doris did not stop growing. she was twenty-two foot tall by that winter. and she had turned into a beautiful gray tree. a rare beet tree, beloved by a garden.
