The magic plant pot was so magic and filled with such magic soil that it made everything inside it grow bigger than any other plant in the world. The magic plant pot and watering can was so magic that whatever was planted inside it grew ... and grew ... and grew. As soon as a tiny seed was planted, the magic plant pot was so magic that it made the seed wriggle in the soil. Slowly a shoot started to appear and after a minute or so, it had reached the windowsill. The magic plant pot was so magic that the shoot started to grow leaves ... the leaves became so big that they flapped in the breeze. Before long, the entire garden looked like a jungle ... there were buttercups and bluebells, coconuts and chrysanthemums, roses and rhodedendrons, palm trees and petunias with stems as tall as trees and roots as long as snakes. The magic plant pot was so magic that every blue bottle fly that landed on it's leaves turned bluer ... it's wings grew bigger and it could fly higher. Every butterfly that ever passed the magic plant pot flapped it's wings faster and higher than every other butterfly in the world. The magic plant pot was so magic that even the caterpillars who made it their home smiled happily - the slugs never went hungry and they never crunched horrible hungry holes in the leaves. The magic plant pot was so magic that if it fell over - it never cracked when it crashed ... so magic that it bounced back up again. The magic plant pot was so magic that it could spin around ... and float in air ... so magic that the worms inside the magic plant pot could dig tunnels bigger and deeper than the London Underground. The magic plant pot was watered by a watering can so magic that it grew flowers tasting of fizzy lemonade. It didn't only grow one fruit - but hundreds of different species ... apples as big as footballs ... oranges that were more orange than a sunset ... lemons that were yellower than the Sun. The magic plant pot was so magic that it could spin and jump - so magic that the leaves never withered or went brown, so magic that the petals never fell off the flowers. The pollen made by the flowers in the magic plant pot was so magic that it made bucketfuls of the sweetest honey. The magic honey bees loved the magic plant pot - they flew around it's flowers so fast that the flowers also strated to spin. Magic.
