A Fair Rule for the School Garden

Last spring, our class planted a small garden behind the school.

We had ten seeds, but only five pots.

So the teacher said, "We need a fair rule." We talked for a long time, and then we made a plan.

Every student can take one seed home, or leave it in the school pot.

If a seed grows well, we share the flowers with everyone.

If a seed dies, we try again together.

No one gets more than one seed, and no one gets less.

This rule is small, but it teaches us about fairness.

When we follow it, the garden is not just ours.

It is for all of us.
