Chad Cyboran: Week 2

I went out and spent some time with Melvin today. Not a full 30 minutes because it was drizzling and I've got stuff to do. He seemed lonely in his pot away from the rest of the trees and plants. He can see all the other, much bigger fruit trees that can stretch out and produce much produce. Melvin sadly will never be anywhere near as large as them or produce as much fruit but he understands why and is fine with it. He's special in his own way. I noticed a few spiders' webs on his leaves and thought of it as a sad symbol of forgottenness. Then I considered it and that thought that Melvin may appreciate the spiders. They provide company and give him a new sense of importance. After feeling bad for melvin, I realized that there's no need because he serves a unique purpose and his life is just as fulfilling as any large, freegrowing tree in any forest.
