SECTION 4
　Soon sprouts appeared.// We watered them carefully.// The flowers bloomed/as if the dogs had returned.//
　In May,/we gave a presentation/on “Flowers from Life”/at an event.// We took our marigolds/with a sticker on each pot:/“Project for Zero Killing.”// We explained/how difficult and heartbreaking it was/to crush bones.// When we finished talking,/people came one by one and asked,/“Could I have a plant?”//
　We gave away every flower!// We felt happy to think/that we could hand over “the baton of life”/to many people.//
　The younger students at our school/have taken over this project.// It will take time,/but we believe/more people will become aware,/and fewer animals will suffer.//
