Explanation:
The story is about a young woman named Miss Lucas who tries to grow a plant called the indigo plant. She plants seeds in March, but a frost kills them. She doesn’t give up. She plants more seeds in April, and this time they grow well until a cut-worm eats them. She keeps trying and finally plants more seeds. The story ends by saying, “The worm wished to try new things too. So he ate the indigo plants.” This means the worm ate the plants, so the plants did not survive.
Now, let’s look at the question: “What happened to the indigo plant?”
We need to find what happened to the plant in the end.
From the story:
- The plant grew well in April.
- Then a cut-worm found them.
- The worm ate the indigo plants.
So the plant was eaten by the worm.
Final Answer:
The indigo plant was eaten by a cut-worm.
