Once upon a time, there was a poor girl called Bella, who was an orphan. She didn’t have enough food to eat. However, a seed had changed everything……

One day, when she was walking back home, she found a seed which had a good shine. ‘It’s really special,’ she thought.

When she arrived home, she planted the special seed on the grassland in front of her house immediately .She irrigated her seed every day.

Three days later, when she woke up, she was shocked. There was a big tree with many fruits in front of her house. The fruits were fresh, and the fruit peel was very smooth. She never saw this kind of fruit before. She thought that fruit might not be ripe at all, so she did not pluck the fruit.

The next day when she walked out of the door, a fruit fell down to the grassland, and the juice of the fruit sprayed out over a wilted flower. Magically, the wilted flower blossomed again. Then she plucked a fruit and let the sick dog eat it. The dog recovered. ‘Oh! It’s a fruit that can cure all kind of diseases!’ she shouted.

After that, Bella plucked many fruits and sold them in the market. The people in the town were all interested in the fruits. They bought them immediately. Bella gained so much money because of the magic fruits, and became rich and famous.

Unfortunately, the tree stopped growing after Bella had plucked all the fruits. And this made the remaining fruits become more and more expensive.

One afternoon, Bella felt sick, ‘Should I eat the magic fruit? No! I can’t, there is only one fruit left. And the wealthy man said that he wants to buy the last fruit with $10000000. It’s a huge amount of money! I will be okay!’ she thought.

That night, Bella sold the last fruit to the wealthy man in town and gained her $100000000. She was happy and satisfied.

     The next day, Bella felt worse than before, and she went to see the doctor. After the body check, Bella was diagnosed with a serious illness. ‘It will take a long time to remedy your disease, and a huge amount of money…’ the doctor said.

And Bella used almost all of her money to cure her disease and it took her around 4 years to recover. She became poor again.

The magic tree was still on the grassland that was in front of her house. But there were no more magic fruits. Everything was back to the beginning, and that magic flower wilted under the sun a second time.
