Banjo's Garden

A young boy named Banjo picked carrots in his mother's garden all morning long.

Looking for adventure as he baked in the hot morning sun,
Banjo began to chase butterflies as he completed his chore.
 

Banjo was having so much fun playing in the garden,
he didn't see the hose that lay in the walkway.

Before he knew it, Banjo tripped over the garden hose and all of the carrots came crashing down on his head.

Just as Banjo stood up again, he heard his mother calling him for dinner.

As he ran towards the house, Banjo exclaimed aloud,
"I've been playing in this garden all day?  Now, there's no time for my X-Box!"

Banjo's mother poured him a fresh glass of carrot juice to go with his dinner.  
Then, he sat and told his mom about all of his adventures out in the garden.
 

That night when Banjo fell asleep, he had a dream that carrots were chasing him...

What happens with Banjo next?
