The Secret Life of Grover the Bench

Grover didn't mind the rain. Really, he didn't. It brought him back to the lush, green leafiness of his hometree. When he was left out in the rain, he tilted back to allow it to splatter all over himself. But his owners would come out and tut-tut, as if watermarks were a bad thing. 

His feet hurt from standing on concrete all day. The best moments were when he got to stand in the garden. His little bench-feet loved soil.
