Abner goes down to the river and cuts some willow branches to make his mother a basket. She uses it to keep her sewing notions in. Then one day she buys a sewing machine an since she is no longer sewing by hand, and the sewing machine has drawers she puts all her notions into the machine. drawers.
The basket is empty. Abner and his mother want the beautiful basket to be used, and Abner thinks of the grocer, who lines it with ferns and fills it with strawberries. He puts it in his window where people admire it, and he sells all his strawberries. Then He fills it with with cherries, and later gooseberries- He gives the basket back to Abner and says he can find some other good use for it. He gives it to his friend Caroline who puts her kitten in it as a bed.The kitten outgrows the basket and Caroline gives it back to Abner, who fills it with flowers and puts it on his front door. When the flowers are gone, the basket blows away. It lands in the mud of a riverbank on the other side of the mountain, where after a season it sprouts, and new willows grow and the children on the other side of the mountain are able to make baskets of their own, because before Abner's basket took root and grew there, they had no willows for baskets.
