There once was a girl that had something in her eye, it bothered so much that she started to cry. She called on her grandma to tell her about,

this unwelcome invader who wanted not to come out. So with all of her wisdom from all of her years,

her grandmother told her to wait, And Patience was called to hold back all her tears,

as she refused to remain in this state. Sooner than later her grandma showed up

with a tiny black seed in her hand, And told this poor girl the solution she found

was a part of a plant

on her land. "You see this here seed,” Grandma started to say

"It's a remedy I learned long ago, and as soon as you drop it inside of your eye,

only then will you certainly know.” “Oh nooo said the girl, I could never do that,

if I did it would scratch up my eye,”

"Don't be silly" Grandma said,

"how do you expect to get well, if you choose to not give it a try."

The girl said no thanks as she nodded her head,

turning down her wise grannies demands, while she looked at that tiny black seed granny had,

and held impatiently there in her hand. Four days came and went

and believe it or not Desperation was feeling at home

and the girl took some time to recite not a rhyme

but a verse that was more like a poem...

"I've tossed and I've turned and I think I have learned

that it's time I should give in and try... this miracle seed

that my grandma " believes" will take care of this thing in my eye!"

So the girl walked the land that her grandmother owned

in search of the seed she was shown, and right on the farm,

was this wonderful herb, just the one her own grandma had grown.

Well you see now the girl started picking some seeds

then again she decided to pick more, she thought she would use what she needed and then,

whatever was left she would store.

Now Courage took over and helped her to place

just one of those seeds in her eye... and believe it or not it got lost in the lid

and was not seen as the hours went by. No type of discomfort

was felt by the girl despite of this curious deed, she slept all night long

and then when she awoke on the corner of her eye found the seed.

"It's amazing" she said,

as she looked at the seed “This here seed that is only a grain.

Has the skill to ensure That my eye as before

Is now free from discomfort and pain.”

Now Basil is proud

and is thankful as well of the advice that her grandmother gave

she is happy indeed and impressed by this seed

and hopes others will learn to plant

and to save
