[upbeat music] This is Rhea. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. Truth be told, years ago when some very nice person would give me a houseplant as a gift, my first reaction was not gratitude. It was fear. And my first thought was always, "This plant is not gonna make it." [gentle music] [laughs] Back then, I was excellent at overwatering plants. I was also excellent at underwatering plants. I was not so good at just watering plants. So a plant entering my home had good reason to worry, and so did I. But I've gotten a lot better at keeping plants alive. And now when someone gives me one, I'm just happy and thankful. I can appreciate it for the gift that it is. Our story today is about a similar, albeit slightly more ridiculous, journey. It's called A Gift for Brambleton T. Beetle.
