Zinnia flowers brawt a lot of butterflies to my backyard last year. You might want to
try planting some of these colorful flowers near the fowndation of your own home this
spring. Just be sure to plant them where there is plenty of sun, or the stems will be weak
and scrauny.
A zinnia seed sprowts in seven to ten days. Keep the young plants watered, but don’t
dowse them. Be catious! Too much water is just as bad as too little. The plants will grow
quickly, and they bloom until fall.

Once upon a time, a handsome prince was held captive in a high tower. Knights from
many countrys used their powers and abilitys to try to free him, but none could. The
tower was surrounded by prickly bushes and guarded by a fierce dragon. How could a
prince be rescued from these surrounding?
A clever princess heard about the prince’s difficultes and decided to rescue him. She
didn’t wear armor or carry a sword. She simply put on gloves and chopped through the
bushes with hedge cutters. And the dragon? Well, she wasn’t afraid of flying reptilies with
fanges. She merely ordered the dragon to scram, and it did!
