Plants help

After a moment of contemplation, Ned decided it wouldn't hurt to open the envelope. He could find a way to reseal it. Taking a deep breath, he began the tedious job of peeling the flap up. The seal surprisingly gave way with just a tiny rip in the middle, but that was an easy fix. Carefully, he pulled out the slip of black edged paper. At unfolding it, he recognized the format as one of an essay, in particular, one called "Plants help". Ah! This must be his sister's college essay!

A/N: I think that subject was a bit lame, but what could I do?  Also, you can assume he was at home all of a sudden.
