In Japan many years ago, a giant strawberry was grown. It was so big that the people who planted it made lots of money by showing it to people. And before they died they hid it in a place in their house were they were sure nobody could find it. Soon, a new family moved into the house. There was a girl in the family who loved to explore. She soon found the strawberry, and began to fall in love with it. She even began to make her clothes out of strawberry! She used the strawberry's seeds to grow other giant strawberrys, and soon everyone in the town had a strawberry friend!

The End
