"I'll bet this tree has hardly grown because it lives in such a small space" Bobby concluded. So she dug it up and brought it home.

With the help of her father, Bobby planted the tree out in their backyard. Day after day Bobby cared for her tree, and under her care the tree grew rapidly. Within a week it had grown as tall as the house! The branches were strong and sturdy, and the trunk grew so wide that a whole string of monkeys could not wrap their long arms around it.
