Basil & Hazel



There was once a couple who were in their early 50's. Basil and Hazel.


Basil and Hazel had been married for 30 years, during which time they had had three children. Ben, Mia and Sam.



Basil loved to garden. Hazel loved to cook. So everyday, Basil would do the gardening and pick the fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden. Then Hazel would cook some. They lived like this for50 years straight until Hazel died at the age of 71. Basil was 74.



The day after Hazel's death, Basil disappeared. Or so the community thought. He was not seen or heard from until he turned 78, when his children found him at home and came to visit. "Dad what's going on?" Sam asked. "Where on earth have you been Dad?" Mia still sounded worried.
