The sunflowers followed the sun during the long summer days. They did this all summer long until the boys came by with their baseball bats. The oxygen tank had dents in it. Upside down and in the dirt, it was silent. The largest flower was cut in two. The top was now facing down in the street. Others were bent. The rocking chair was in pieces.
No one was there to take care of them. Large shoots came out of the sides, ants, wasps and beetles made their homes in them. When winter came they all died.
The next spring five more came up. They had golden petals and dark brown centers. There is no comparison to sunflowers.
