This is a fun post, Maria. The ending was unexpected and so great. I could 'see' this conversation taking place. Good job and thanks for sharing. Jan

A very well-written short story about the two carrots talking about their desire to return to the forest, while the one is afraid of Peter the rabbit the other is sure that Peter would not be able to eat his tough old body.

Peter the rabbit, a show I watch with my granddaughter. Well done Maria, you are getting very good at these, an hilarious ending with the scourge of the carrots in action Peter. An excellent story my friend, blessings, Roy

Hi Maria :)
This is a really fun piece - I don't think I have ever read anything that is from the point of view of a carrot!
Really nicely done and strangely believable!!
Best wishes to you as always, Debra :)

MJ,

That was cute. I think kids would enjoy that - the surprise ending was especially fun. I had no idea where you were going until you got there. Fun! Thanks for sharing!

This was good, Maria. I had no idea where it was going and when I got to the end, I got a pleasant ending and a chuckle. Nice job as always. Your stories are always a delight.

Hi Maria. Your wonderful short stories are a joy to read. This one hits home with me as I'm vegetarian for many years. I often mull over the concept of plants sensing the danger and experiencing pain (which is touted as being true). Great job. Marilyn

This was absolutely so very cute, Maria. It was a nice refreshing thought that you mentioned everyone was happy in the orchard and felt safe. It was a nice play on Peter rabbit. Very enjoyable to read, well done.

I like your take on this old children's story, from the carrot's point of view. I just hope he's right about Peter's teeth. Ya never know. Regards, Lou

This is indeed a peculiar conversation, what with someone talking to a tough carrot. I have never heard a carrot talking with anyone. Have a blessed week.
