Alice and the Garden

by Jesse, Cody and Jordan-Lee

Once up on a time Alice grew a garden.
Alice grew squaw corn.
It didn’t taste as good as sweet corn.
This is how she saved corn seeds:
She saved the corn on the cob.
She dried it out and she didn’t cook it.
She planted it next year.
The seeds grew into more corn.
She picked the corn and saved it again and again.
Then she had corn every year.
