Nora needed a gift for her friend Sam.
She walked past a small plant shop with bright leaves in the window.
Inside, the air smelled fresh, like rain.

A woman behind the counter said, โHi! Can I help you?โ
โMy friend just moved to a new apartment,โ Nora said.
โI want a plant that is easy to care for.โ

The woman showed her three small plants: a cactus, a snake plant, and a pothos.
Nora liked the pothos because its leaves were green with yellow lines.

โIt needs light but not too much,โ the woman explained.
โWater it once a week.โ
Nora bought the pothos, a simple white pot, and a card.
On the card she wrote, โWelcome home.โ

When she visited Sam that evening, they put the plant on a sunny shelf, where the light was bright but not too strong.
Sam smiled. โItโs perfect,โ he said. โI will try not to overwater it.โ
They both laughed.

The little plant made the room look brighter, and the new apartment felt more like home.
