Chapter 201: A Friend
"Which is the fiercest flower in the garden?" Dora asked the gardener who paused in the middle of pruning and looked up at the little girl with exasperation," I do not know."
"Gaia? Are you really a gardener? How can you not know the fiercest flower? It is Tiger lily of course. You are so silly. Wait, I’ll give you another chance,’ What did the soil say during the rain?"
Gaia scratched his head and shook it," I do not know."
Dora put her palm to her forehead and looked at her friend with disappointment," She said that if this continues then I will become mud."
"Oh." the man said before picking up the large shears and continuing his task. Dora frowned and looked at the man. She wanted him to talk but he never did. She came here every day to talk to him but he only ever talked to the plants and the trees. Dora did not like it. Crossing her arms, she stared at him and complained," Gaia. Why are you always so serious? The plants are all dying in this garden because of you. At least you should laugh at my joke."
"But your joke is not funny." Gaia pointed out to the young girl, breaking her little heart.
Her lower lip pushed out in a pout and she said," It is because you do not know what is funny. Of course, my jokes are funny. If you think not, then why don’t you try to tell me a joke?"
Gaia paused in the middle of pruning and looked at the little girl thoughtfully and asked," What is the tree’s favourite dinosaur?"
"I don’t know." Dora spoke with a frowning face.
