Once upon a time, there was a monarch butterfly who lived in a garden full of milkweed plants. The monarch loved to drink their nectar and would often stop by the plants to say hello. One day, a new customer came to the garden looking for a place to build their shelter. The monarch offered to help and together they started digging into the soil to plant the sprout. But, just as they were about to start planting, the monarch realized that the soil was too dry. "Don't worry," said the customer, "I have a secret to make the soil perfect for your plants." The monarch was curious and asked what the secret was. The customer whispered, "Just add a drop of milk to the soil!" The monarch was skeptical but followed the advice anyway. To their surprise, the sprout grew into a tall and strong plant in no time! From then on, the monarch and the customer became the best of friends, helping each other and enjoying the sweet nectar from their thriving garden.
