Little boy Basil is playing in the garden and discovering the mysteries of nature, and his grandmother Carrot helps him with this. She explains to him how trees grow, how they reproduce, whether weeds are really useless, and much more. "Grandma, what are you doing?" Basil asks, finding Grandma Carrot in the garden bed. "I'm planting beans. Soon there will be little sprouts here." "And what does that take?" "What? Do hedgehogs poop too?" "Of course, Basil, everyone poops," replies Grandma Carrot. "And trees? Do trees poop too?"
