The Pearl Tree

There once lived a girl named curl who planted seeds of pearls. As we all know pearls do not grow this her mother told her so. But everyday when she went out to see if her pearl had become a tree. Everyday what she found was the same, a bare sandy ground with no weeds to tame. It was a shame to Curl that she couldn't grow pearls. But Curl would not admit defeat and watered her pearls twice a week. Then one day when she went out to see there it was a pearl tree! Amazed she was to see such a site but then she saw something wasn't right there was not one tree but there were five all the same color shape and size. At this time she knew these weren't her trees someone else had planted these. She was told they were pecan trees and in some years she could eat pecans. So years went by and she ran through the sand carrying bunches of pecans in her hands. She cracked one open but to her surprise she found not a nut but a pearl inside! Her mother was so happy that she started to cry. Curl said "I told you so!" and ran out to find the pearl bearing tree. And to this very day the pearl tree does still does stand providing richness and happiness through out the land.
