Once , my uncle gave me a present . It was a banana plant .It came in a packet .

The instructions
said that if I planted it in a pot and watered it regularly , it would grow . They also said I would
have tasty bananas . My mother said bananas don’t grow in England because it is cold . I said ,
“but the instructions promised bananas .”
When I opened the packet , the plant looked dead . However , I planted it in a pot and watered
it . To my surprise , it grew and produced a few leaves . As time passed , it grew bigger . It was
too big for my bedroom and it had to go to the kitchen , then it was too big and it had to go to
the hall . I still have the plant today , but I still get my bananas from the supermarket .
