Luther Lettuce looked up at the tomato vine. Tess Tomato, the beautiful object of his affection, was being attacked by a bird! If only I could move, he thought. He is devouring her. I am devastated!
Finally, the bird flew up into a tree. Slowly, Tess turned. SHOCK! Her whole backside was gone.
Luther sent a mental SOS to Wilbur Worm, who chewed through Tess’s stem. She tumbled to the ground, landing beside Luther. Wrapping her in a lettuce leaf, he held her close.
Wilber inched away, trying to hide. Too late. He'd done his best.
The bird saw him.
