Once upon a time, there was a little tomato plant named Tom. Tom loved to grow big and juicy tomatoes that were so tasty. One day, Tom overheard the farmer say that he was going to do something special with his crop of tomatoes. Tom couldn't wait to find out what the farmer had planned!

The next day, the farmer came to pick Tom's ripe, red tomatoes. He took them to the kitchen and started cooking up a delicious tomato soup. Tom was so excited to taste the soup, but he didn't know how to get a taste. Suddenly, the farmer noticed Tom and scooped him up, placing him in a bowl of the hot, steaming soup. Tom was so happy! He finally got to taste how delicious his tomatoes were!

From then on, Tom always made sure to grow the tastiest tomatoes possible. And every time the farmer made tomato soup, Tom was right there in the bowl, enjoying the delicious taste of his hard work. The end.
