Acceptance of Reality

As Avril grew she had difficulty in keeping the vines from growing too far out from her fingernails and toenails. Styling her hair became impossible as vines entwined in her hair, but she did not mind it. The sweet aroma of watermelon sweat was alluring to all. The bumble bees were so gentle with her and tickled her between her toes. What appeared to be teardrop shaped freckles were actually freckles in the shape of watermelon seeds creatively decorating her face. The odd flakes of skin she was losing happened to be seeds falling from her skin. One can see the many watermelon plants along the path that she walks.  

The Mellon family supported Avril as she learned to cope with her body and changes. This family blending was the last noted with the powers of these families. Avril was influential in teaching the benefits of watermelon to the world. How to grow it, the various ways of eating it, and the fun that can be achieved with a watermelon. Today we can raise a cool glass of watermelon juice or a watermelon mojito to the young girl who dared to eat the seeds of a watermelon.
