“I was snatched from my ancestral vine by a monster machine. Then shucked out of my family home by a lady that put me into a bag.  Even so, things didn’t seem to be all that bad because I was with  some relations. 

Until the bag was placed in a box in a deep freeze.  Don’t know how long I was there, lost all consciousness.  Eventually Someone took the bag out and defrosted me by placing myself and a lot of companions in hot water.  I only just survived that experience.   

“Next thing I am on a large white plate along with some other greens and a bit of chicken.  Someone is yelling that they hate peas and tips the plate over.  I rolled off the plate and fell to the ground which fortunately was very soft.  Some one mentioned that there was now am awful mess on the carpet.

I rolled into a corner behind a tall piece of timber and eventually was swept up and placed in a big can.  That was emptied into a mulch bin.  Three months later, the bin was tipped out in a garden and I germinated and became a new vine.

Now, I have a family again.  Pea Pods galore, and more direct relations than you will ever have.

LONG LIVE THE NEW ANCESTERAL VINE. 

That would be me.

The original pea.
