endless summer — garden shop!

gardening was a pretty foreign concept to the child. then again, everything was- this entire planet was. the blue sky, the clear water... it was all new to him. still, though, that was why he was here, wasn't it? to see the beauty in new things? he heard voices, and decided to pad over after doing nothing but running up and down the beach. he leaped over, eyes wide. a little garden shop on the water? how strange, he thought! was gardening a big thing here?

he heard everybody offering things to trade, but amnia had nothing. he turned, going back to the beach, and found a cute little pink seashell- a small conch-type. he then padded back, placing the shell on the counter. "i want a leaf!" he announced, having absolutely no clue what an equal exchange was, or why he should want a leaf- he just wanted it.
