Walter the Wondermelon

4 min 2 sec

In the middle of Sunny Patch Farm, where the soil was warm and the bees hummed lullabies all day long, a watermelon named Walter soaked up every drop of sunshine.
He started as a tiny green marble, but by midsummer he had grown into the biggest, roundest, happiest watermelon anyone had ever seen.

Farmer Tilly scratched her head and smiled.
"Walter, you are so big and juicy that one slice of you could make ten kids happy."

Walter liked the sound of that.
He liked it so much that he decided he would do more than sit in the garden getting bigger.

He would roll out and share himself with every child in the village before the season ended.
First he rocked side to side until the vine let go with a gentle pop.

Then he wobbled down the furrow, humming a tune that sounded like dripping juice.
Along the way he met Pippa the ladybug, who was crying because she had lost her spotty soccer ball.

Walter’s eyes twinkled.
He rolled next to a round stone, nudged it toward Pippa, and painted it red with a swipe of his ripe side.

The stone rolled just like a ball, and Pippa squealed with delight.
She thanked Walter and promised to help him later if he needed a friend.

Walter rolled on, happy to have made his first new pal.
Next he reached the village square, where ten children were frowning because the baker had run out of sweet buns.

Their tummies rumbled louder than the village bell.
Walter remembered Farmer Tilly’s words.

He rolled to the fountain, climbed the rim with a wiggle, and called, "Who wants a taste of summer?"
The children turned.

Their eyes grew wide when they saw the giant watermelon glistening like an emerald moon.
Walter somersaulted into the air, split into ten perfect slices, and landed gently into the children’s waiting hands.

Juice dribbled down their chins as laughter bubbled up like soda.
Ten smiles replaced ten frowns, and Walter felt lighter, as if happiness itself had taken a bite out of him.

The slices were generous, but Walter was still big enough to keep rolling.
He wobbled toward the playground where Leo the lonely boy sat under the slide.

Leo’s family had just moved to the village, and he had not found anyone to play with.
Walter rolled up, tapped Leo’s shoe, and offered a game of catch.

Leo sniffed, then grinned.
He tossed Walter gently; the watermelon spun like a green sun and returned to Leo’s arms.

Soon other kids noticed the fun.
They formed a circle, tossing Walter from hand to hand, giggling every time he twirled.

When the bell rang for supper, Leo had eight new friends and a promise of more games tomorrow.
Walter rolled home to Sunny Patch Farm, smaller now but beaming.

That night the sky blushed with sunset.
Walter rested beside the pumpkin patch and listened to the crickets sing about friendship.

He had given away most of himself, yet he felt fuller than ever.
Pippa the ladybug landed on his stem and whispered, "You showed us that sharing makes room for more love."

Walter smiled a juicy smile.
He closed his eyes and dreamed of tomorrow, when the children would plant his seeds in little paper cups.

Those seeds would sprout into new vines, and next summer there would be enough watermelons for every child in the world.
In his dream the vines danced in circles, weaving a giant green heart around the whole village, and every beat of that heart sounded like ten happy voices calling his name.

Walter the Wondermelon drifted off to sleep, certain that friendship, like seeds, only multiplies when you give it away.
