I couldnt believe my eyes: it was a money tree! Dollar bills were stuck all over that tree, and there was a note which read: I owe you eight hours of digging time.

We built a garden together.That was three years ago. My garden is now very pretty, and just what Id always wanted. When I go out to weed or tend my flowers, I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels as if they were right there with me.
