Conversations with Amelie


Amelie: I picked this flower for Bella my cousin. Can we send it to her in Australia?

Mummy: You probably can't send it to her.

Amelie: Why?

Mummy: Well they don't let plants into Australia.

Amelie: Why don't they like plants in Australia?

Mummy: Weeeellllll... they don't want the diseases from here to get into the plants over there?

Amelie: Don't they want plants there?

Mummy: Yes, they have their own plants.

Amelie: So, I can't send this plant to Bella?

Mummy: No, you can't send it to Bella.

Amelie: What do they do with the plants?

Mummy: Weeeeelllll, they would probably put it in the bin and burn it.

Amelie: What would happen to it in the bin?

Mummy: They would burn it up then it would be no more.

Amelie: But ....


... and this continues....
