C-S13 — The Seeds in the Wrong Box
Module C · version 0.4.0 · original fictional reading practice

1. At a neighborhood seed exchange, neighbors brought seeds from their gardens. They could take a small packet home without paying. Each packet was supposed to show the plant's name. Teenager Bar organized the table and enjoyed hearing visitors describe the vegetables and flowers they grew. He hoped to grow tomatoes on his balcony.
2. A week later, one visitor called Bar. The packet marked 'tomato' contained seeds that looked different from hers. Bar checked a photo of the exchange table and saw that he had put two groups of packets in the wrong boxes. Some visitors had gone home with the wrong seeds.
3. Bar told the organizers what had happened and wrote a correction for their community notice board. He kept it short and included a clear picture of each packet. He also phoned the visitors whose numbers the organizers already had, with their permission. The aim was to correct the mistake, not blame whoever had brought the seeds.
4. At the next exchange, two volunteers checked every label before putting packets on the table. Bar still helped, but asked someone else to check his boxes. Several neighbors thanked him for the correction. His balcony had no tomatoes yet, but the exchange now had a more careful way of working.
