Basil, Rosemary and the Pansy sisters are lively, chatty little plants. They think they know some stuff, but when it comes to this animal, they know nothing. One wild assumption leads to another and gets them into big trouble.

Excerpt from the story:
The Pansy sisters lived in a yellow flowerpot under the big apple tree. They shared the pot with Basil, Rosemary and Mouse.
As irmãs Amor-perfeito viviam num vaso amarelo por baixo da grande macieira. Elas partilhavam o vaso com o Manjericão, a Alecrina e o Rato.

The summer was very hot and the plants all agreed how nice it was to live under the big shady apple tree.
“It is so nice to live under a shady apple tree,” said Basil.
O verão estava muito quente e todas as plantas concordavam em como era bom viver por baixo da grande macieira, à sombra.
"É bom viver por baixo da grande macieira, à sombra," disse o Manjericão.
