Ivy loved the community garden. Green leaves brushed her hands. A gentle hum filled the air around her. She felt very peaceful here.

One day, Ivy knelt by a small sprout. She leaned in close to it. A tiny whisper tickled her ear. "More water, please," it seemed to say.

Ivy looked up, surprised. Did she just hear that? She looked at Old Oak. Old Oak seemed to nod slowly.

Later, a large notice appeared. It said the garden would be gone. Workers would pave it over soon. Old Oak seemed very sad.
