She took one of the mysterious seeds and tossed it over the fence. She found the seeds as she arrived home from work. They were purple and had a diameter of half an inch. She wanted to know what would grow from them. She put the two other seeds on her coffee table and went out to water the other seed. She watered it every other day, but nothing ever grew.
She decided to take the un-planted seeds to a seed identifier. She looked on the coffee table and they were gone. Suddenly, she noticed two people walking around drinking coffee in her kitchen.
She screamed!!! “How did you get here?”
“We were born here,” the people responded.
She quickly put the pieces together. SHE had grown the people. She realized that most people use coffee in their everyday lives. “BINGO, they must have grown from my COFFEE table!”
