Harry Marshall lived a normal, ordinary life. 

That is, before she received a quest from a 

wizard. A quest to save the world.

"Hello Harry!" the wizard bellowed.

Harry was startled. "Woah!" she thought. 

"Look at those shoes." 

"Harry, I need your help." the wizard said. 

"The elements of T.I.M.E have gone missing."

"Time?" Harry asked. 

"No, not time." the wizard rolled his eyes. 

"T.I.M.E. It's an acronym. Each letter stands 

for different personality traits a leader needs. 

But they're gone. No one seems to have the 

traits. The world won't last long without 

T.I.M.E." 

"Well what do you want me to do? I'm not a leader" 

Harry said

"I need you to collect the elements T.I.M.E" the 

wizard said. After a pause, Harry said,

"Uh.. ok. Could you tell me what the letters stand for 

so I could, you know, find them?"

"No can do. You have to follow these directions and 

find them along the way"

"Why are they written on a paper airplane?"

"Don't judge me. I could change you into a toad"

"Sure, buddy" 

The first direction on the paper airplane was to go to 

the river in the middle of the forest.

"That's specific" Harry thought "How am I supposed 

to know when I'm in the middle of this place?"

Harry stopped at the first river she came across. 

"Seems about right. Let's see" She took out the paper 

"Says to help anyone in need...what? There's no one 

here! This could take forever"

As soon as she thought the words,a small person 

came tearing down the river crying "Help! Please 

help!"

Harry went to meet the person halfway. "Calm down, 

please. I can help if you tell me what's wrong"

"I need to cross this river to get to my tribe"

"Ok. lucky for you, I know how to build a boat"

"Really?" the small creature said

"No" Harry thought. "Yup" Harry said.

Four youtube tutorials later, the boat was complete.

"Thank you so much Giant." the creature said. "I 

could not have done it without you."

"No problem man." Harry said with a satisfied smile.

"You've taught me how to have a cool head in a high-

pressured situation."

"You're welcome. Now go reunite with your people."

The creature ran to the boat and started to row away.

"Ok Wizard, what's next?" Harry said to herself. 

"All it says is to wait to help someone on a farm" 

Harry walked along the river, looking for flat land. She 

finally came across a modest sized farm. She saw a  

girl pacing along the field.

"Hey." Harry called out. "You need any help?"

"My plants refuse to grow" she proclaimed, the 

frustration clear from the tone of her voice

"Can you explain what the problem is?" Harry asked.

The girl took a deep breath. "I need this tomato plant 

to grow to prove to my mom I'm responsible enough 

to take care of the animals on the farm. But it's been 

two days and nothing!" She pointed to a fresh patch 

of dirt. "What am I doing wrong?"

"Nothing" Harry assured her. "Plants need time. They 

don't just pop out of the ground as soon as you put it 

in the ground." 

"How long will it take?" the girl asked.

"I don't know. But everyday you have to make sure 

the plant gets enough water and sunlight. Before you 

know it, you'll get a sprout and then a stem and then a 

whole tomato."

"So, I have to invest my time and tend to the plant?" 

the girl said.

"Yeah. It can't grow without you." Harry replied.

"Ok. Thanks for the advice." the girl smiled at Harry. 

"Any time" Harry said. "Bye! Good luck with your 

plants and with your mom." 

"Bye!" the girl called.
