Omar put a bean in a cup.
He gave it a drink of water.
He set the cup by the window.
Day one. Nothing came up.
Day two. Nothing came up.
"Hello?" Omar said into the cup.
Nobody said hello back.
"That bean is a dud," said his sister.
Omar looked at the dirt.
The dirt was dry.
So he gave it more water.
He set it in the sun.
On day five, Omar ran to look.
Up came a little green loop!
The next day, it stood up tall.
Two leaves came out like hands.
"Not a dud!" said Omar with a grin.
His sister went red.
Then she held up her own cup.
It had a little green loop too.
"Mine is no dud," she said.
