Simon, a 13-year-old boy, lived with his mother Annie in a rundown trailer, struggling to make ends meet. Seeing his mother work tirelessly as a janitor, he dreamed of changing their lives. One day, he asked her for her last $13, which she had set aside for food, with a promise she’d never regret it. Reluctantly, Annie handed over the money, watching as Simon bought seeds and began to plant a small garden outside their trailer.

Day by day, Simon nurtured his garden, eventually setting up a stall to sell the fresh produce. As his garden grew, so did his business. Soon, Simon was able to make a considerable income, attracting attention with his organic, pesticide-free vegetables and herbs. His commitment to natural farming methods even drew the curiosity of a wealthy local farmer, Alex, who, impressed by Simon’s skill and passion, offered him a partnership.

With hard work and determination, Simon expanded his business, eventually moving from their tiny trailer into a rented house, where Annie joined him to work on the expanding garden. The collaboration with Alex allowed Simon to expand further, enabling him to save enough to fulfill his mother’s wish.

A few years later, Simon surprised Annie by taking her back to the spot where their trailer once stood and handed her the keys to a beautiful new home worth $2 million. Annie’s eyes filled with tears as she realized her dream had come true; her son had indeed made her the “queen” of a “palace.”

Despite his success, Simon continued to care for his first little garden, now harvesting its produce for their family meals rather than selling it, grateful for the humble beginning that set him on the path to prosperity.
