The book Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is a well-known book of children's poetry. One of the poems in the book is called "The Garden." The poem is about a gardener named Simon who plants precious jewels in his garden. Instead of growing regular fruits and vegetables, Simon's garden grows priceless treasures: silver potatoes, emerald tomatoes, corn of real gold, even platinum weeds. Despite all the wealth provided by Simon's fantastic garden, however, Simon himself is not satisfied. The end of the poem reads thus: "Old man Simon/ digging in his diamonds/ stops and rests and thinks about/ one… real… peach."
