In one section of the Garden, a patch of carrots were placed by a wise looking old tree.
Bit by bit carrots were removed from the patch until there was but one left, and it seemed they had been forgotten.
The poor lonely carrot was so sad it had been left behind that one night, after everyone had left, it started to weep.
The wise tree heard the carrots tiny cries and in a soft voice asked,”little one, what is troubling you?”
”I am all alone now! Those people who took all my friends haven’t come back in ages! I’ve been forgotten and now I’ll never see them again... I shall be lonely forever!” The carrot whispered their answer and continued to weep.
”Did you know,” the wise old tree started,”that I have been here for 89 years? I have seen the comings and going of many, and that is how I know that soon you will have new friends who will come.”
The carrot looked on in awe,”really? Really, truly?” It asked
”yes,” the tree spoke,” they have every year, this year could be no different.” He stated, then, seemingly as a second thought made a proposal,” Until your new friends are here, would you like to be my friend?”
The carrot was overjoyed at their new friend and let out an eager nod accompanied by a very squeaky “YES!!!”

The Carrot and the tree grew old together and were the best of friends until suddenly, a new batch of baby carrots were planted.
