Palm See

About twenty-two years ago, a palm tree settled in a forest. It tried to create thousands and thousands more of itself by its extremely high up coconuts (eggs). After the coconut (egg) has been there for a year, it becomes a baby Magik Palm See. Once there’s enough spread all around the world, it will all stop overflowing. The coconuts will be so much more fresh. You will be able to have a great sight all throughout the world.

Palm See has three eggs on the ground. She’s very excited for them to hatch! She is able to see in her eggs to see if they get hurt. Suddenly, she hears, “BEEP, BEEP, BEEP!” At an instant, she looks at her eggs. They’re gone…

She did a quick glance around her: nothing. She went back to the vision line of her eggs: black, empty, nothing there. Like a microscope, she zoomed out and saw a truck and it looked like no one was in it. As soon as she saw it, she thought it was like a Waymo or a self-driving Tesla. She thought of a plan for months and months until it was perfect. She wanted a name for her first children, so she chose Palm Sea. When the plan came to action, she was more ready than a cat about to land a fall. It worked perfectly. Her leaves blocked the truck’s vision and it crashed into a rock. Afterwards, she lived happily ever after with her babies
