At first, Grace and Brooklynne did not want to let Jett take care of their secret pet. No matter how Jett insisted, Grace and Brooklynne were reluctant to let Jett take care of their pet as they did not trust him. Dejected, Jett walked away sadly.
Seeing Jett so sad, the duo came up with an idea. “I know! We can let Jett take care of a caterpillar and if he does a great job, it means we can trust him. How about that?” Grace suggested. “Great idea, Grace!” Brooklynne exclaimed. Then, the duo dashed away to the garden and found a silkworm. They carefully placed it in a container and placed fresh leaves in it.
They then caught up with Jett and said, “Jett, we decided to give you a shot at taking care of our pet. But first, you need to pass a test.” “What test?”Jett asked enthusiastically. “You will take care of this little guy,” said Brooklynne, handing Jett the silkworm. “Jett, you must feed it regularly. You need not feed it water. One week later, we will check on you. If you do a great job, we will let you take care of our pet. But you must keep it a secret, okay?” “Sure!” agreed Jett.
One week later, the girls were delighted to find out that the silkworm had turned into a moth and flown away. They decided to let Jet take care of their lizard. The girls learnt not to judge a book by its cover. If not, they would not have realised someone’s hidden potential.
