Green bean. And freckles and speckles.

Freckles and speckles. Soon a root and a shoot.

Green bean. And freckles and speckles.

Freckles and speckles. Soon a root and a shoot.

A root and a shoot. And a sprout peaking out.

A sprout peeking out. But a bunch comes for lunch.

A root and a shoot. And a sprout peaking out.

A sprout peeking out. But a bunch comes for lunch.

A bunch comes for lunch? No way they can stay!

No way they can stay! Now a hoe to help grow.
