Still, so many surprising things had
happened that she watched the bean
hoping that it would do something
interesting.
By-and-by it began to swell 1t
went on swelling until Dolly was
cutie frightened.
"Oh, I'm sure 1t Msf burst itself II
it keeps on swelling like that" she
said.
And just at that moment the bean
really did burst! It's skin popped
right off A queer, thin, stringy thing
poked out and began to push its way
down into the ground Dolly knew
enough now about the way plants
grow, to be sure this was a root.
"Oh," she said. "He mustn't do
that, l know that seeds have to stay
in the ground and let the leaves come
up. He must have been planted up
side down. l had better put him back
in the ground before the sun with
ers him all up"
"No, no." said the Green Fairy,
quickly. "You mustn't do that. He
is made to come up that way. II
you put him back in the ground he
will die"
"How funny! Some Of the veget-
ables sticg their heads in the ground
like the radish, and some of them
come up the wrong way, like the
bean. don't understand it at all"
Every plant does exactly the right
thing for ITSELF explained the Fairy.
"They all know what they need and
if they can get it they will live, and II
they can't they die. You SEE, the
bean is all full of nice food already
digested-do you know what'digested'
means?"
"No, sir" said Dolly, who fel. that
any one who knew so much should
be spoken to respectfully.
"Well, when you put food into your
stomach-you know where your
stomach is, I suppose
"Oh, yes" said the little girl, pat
ting her belt.
"Yes-that's it. When you pnt

that mixes all the different kinds o.
