The Three Sisters

The Three Sisters Eddy and Casey did not like eating vegetables. They liked meat and fish. They liked rice and bread. They even liked appies, grapes and bananas. But they did not like vegetables. One day, their mom told them a story. Long ago, the Native people in Canada grew three special vegetables. They planted corn, beans and pumpkins very close to each other in the garden.

The corn grew strong and tall. The beans climbed up the big strong corn stems. The pumpkins made big leaves as they grew. The leaves kept the grounp cool and wet. The three vegetables helped each other. They were like three sisters in a family. That is why the Native people call these vegetables the three sisters. They are very special. Little kids grow big and strong by eating corn, beans and pumpkins. Now, Eddy and Casey eat their vegetables every day.
