I moved from my beloved Canada to America. ﻿﻿ //This Stinks //, so far I've been getting made fun of because of what I do and say. // Why do you guys make fun of me? Is it because i'm not from here //﻿ // ? // Every morning I wake up have waffles, and syrup, and then head off to school. // I really like waffles. //

One day I turned my head and saw a garden with //lots of//  people helping each other //﻿ // plant all kinds of food. I wanted to grow a maple tree //since everyone was having such a great time. // The next day after school I went to a gardening store and bought maple tree seeds. After I bought them I //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">ran //<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> over to the garden to plant the seeds. I planted them deep in the soil. I took out my bottle of water from my backpack. Then I started to water the seeds. Day after day I came back to the garden after school to water the plant a little each day, //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">which was very fun to do. //<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> After a month or so I noticed that only a tiny sprout with brownish leaves were the only thing in my gardening area. //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">It made made me really sad because of all the work I'd been through. //<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> I ask many people why my maple tree hadn't grown yet and none of the people I ask knew the answer //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> except one //<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">. The last person I asked was a taxi driver who said that since it was summer it was too hot to grow some plant like a maple tree because they need to have water to survive, //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">which really annoyed me. I wondered if he knew this from personal experience //<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">. I said thank you //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">to him and //<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">asked if he would like some of the maple syrup I was going to make with the maple from the tree. He said sure very surprised! <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">After a while the rest of my plant had died but in the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">//fall. It was OK because I knew that would happen.// <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;"> In the spring I finally planted my maple tree. In the spring when I grew my plant big enough to take maple out of I gave the taxi driver who still worked in the same cab 2 cups of maple syrup. //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">He was very grateful. I always remembered him. //
