Continued from last week. The Coyote’s proposal seemed sensible enough. A little too pat, the Great Shaman said to himself; but think as he might, he could find no objection. Even the most doubting among them approved of the idea. The coyote was smiling friendly. If only they knew. In the meantime, the Indians had run off to fetch their bows and arrows, bringing as many as they could carry. Then the best marksmen prepared to shoot. Whizz, the first arrow whistled over their heads and pierced a low cloud. It was immediately followed by a...

The idea that plants benefit from kind words, or from speech in general, has roots that go back at least to Charles Darwin, who supported the concept.

And this effect is not due to the carbon dioxide we exhale, which plants need, since audio recordings produce the same result. The perks of jabbering to our plants go both ways – we also profit from it...
