Answer 4

Here's something you may not believe - but it's true.

It's a bit long, but stick with it.

An experimant was conducted a few years ago in a greenhouse full of tomato plants.

A man went in the greenhouse with a stick and smashed half the plants to pieces. Ruined the lot. Then left.

Scientists then wired the remaining half up to very delicate machinery and left.

The same man came into the greenhouse with the same stick and all the needles on the machines started flickering.

The plants sensed the man and were scared of him.

Does that answer your question?

(by the way, don't tell any vegetarians about this - they wouldn't have anything to eat!)
