A carrot escaped. It was barely caught and stuffed back into the ground just before it went over the fence, but the carrot kept repeating its attempts every single night. The carrot was cherished and loved by all surroundings, along with a perfect shape and color. But it never tired of simply fleeing away. Again, and again.

Skip, hop, jump, tumble. Skip, hop, jump, tumble. Skip, hop, jump, tumble.

Tumble.

Thought everything was growing well until vermin appeared, infecting and nibbling away at the skin of plants. It was covered in sharp stings, and fast enough to foil all attempts of catching and stopping it from destroying the crops. Strong pesticide was sprayed to catch it; the black husk started to cave in while convulsing and soon its neck snapped. The plants’ rejoicing over the eradication of pests didn’t last long - they soon became addicted to the toxic chemicals. 

A sentry rabbit was hired. The rabbit will now take charge of exterminating vermin, capturing escapees, and putting them back in place. Wages are one carrot per day. The carrots protested loudly, insisting on unfairness.

Brought in a ravenous crocodile plant to remedy the insect issue. The firm, broad leaf wades underground and feeds on the insects that were too stuffed to stay in. Since it leaves its gaping mouth outside the ground, there is a probability that it may drown on a day with heavy rain- but it’s good at identifying friend from foe, and doesn’t take rogue action. About a month later, it took to the habit of grazing on plants it considered exotic.

Once a plant is contaminated, it sometimes ends up dead after suffering from disease. The roots were cut off and conserved for funeral services. They were separated into nine types; four of them were potatoes, two were sweet potatoes, and the rest were carrots and onions. Even after death, the pigtail-like roots moved every now and then, morphing into new forms. The roots of the potatoes -as in, the sweet and not - shared love with each other, intimately intertwined. Sharply curved onion roots threatened the little root next to it. The root that stuck itself in the corner to escape the confusion instead craned its neck to observe the whole thing.

Sometimes, some species threw themselves into the dirt without any prodding from this side. A good example would be the seed frog. The seed frog is an exotic species. Its skin was unsuitable for planting, yet it wished to melt into the crowd - it seems to be adapting. The shape of the frog is changing little by little because of the different environments. This doesn’t mean its species has changed.
