After deep thought, Annie agreed and allowed Simon to work with Alex. For the next several months, the boy balanced school and gardening on the man’s farm while looking after his little garden near their trailer because he was always grateful for that.
In no time, Alex and Simon’s combined efforts succeeded. Apart from selling their fresh produce locally, they even started exporting to neighboring states.
Two years later, Simon saved a huge chunk of money and could not wait to fulfill his mom’s wish. With Alex’s help, he built a big house in the area where their trailer once stood and honored his mother with the house keys.

At that moment, Annie realized her wish had come true. Her son had succeeded and made her the queen of a big palace. She shed tears of joy and hugged her boy.
“Simon, my boy…” Annie cried. “You are supposed to enjoy your childhood, but you sacrificed all your fun and friendship to make me smile. I love you, darling!”
“Oh, come on, mom, I’ll do anything for you,” Simon replied. I can laugh and run again, but I cannot see you struggling. My childhood has not gone anywhere…I’m always your little boy!”
Although Simon grew into a wealthy young lad, he still paid gratitude to the little garden that catapulted him to success. He continued to harvest its fresh produce but he never sold them anymore.
