Once upon a sunny day, in a town not so far away, lived a boy named Benny. Benny had short black hair and a bright yellow shirt. Benny loved bananas. Not just loved, he LOVED them!
Benny munched and crunched bananas all day long. His friends joked that he must be half-monkey, and Benny would laugh and peel yet another banana!
One day, Benny ran out of bananas! 'Oh no!' he cried. So, he raced to the market, with his banana thoughts as big as the sky.
Benny found the banana stand, run by a sweet lady with a smile wide as a watermelon. She gave him bananas just like the ones recommended.
'Yum! These bananas are so delicious!' Benny thought. But why were they so special? He felt a curious tickle in his tummy.
Benny decided to grow his own bananas. He sprinted over to Uncle Farmer's house, hoping for some green-thumb advice.
Uncle Farmer, with his wise eyes and wrinkly hands, taught Benny how to plant a banana tree. They dug, they watered, and they wished for bananas.
But oh no! The poor tree wilted and drooped. Benny’s heart felt heavy like a banana boat sinking.
Benny didn’t give up. He read books, asked friends, and tried again. This time, the tree stood tall and green!
Day by day, the tree grew bigger. Benny sang rhymes to it, 'Grow little tree, grow just for me!'
One sunny morning, Benny saw something wonderful. Baby bananas peeking out like shy golden stars!
When the bananas ripened, Benny shared them with his friends. Everyone laughed and played under the banana tree. Benny’s heart was full of joy.
From then on, Benny’s love for bananas was shared with all. His banana tree, a symbol of fun, grew stronger every day.
