The Garden and the Kitchen
In a small Indian home with a sunny courtyard, there lived a curious boy named Adhrit. Every morning, he ran to the garden where the tulsi plant grew.
One day, he held up a tiny mango seed.
βAmma, how do I make this grow?β
Her mother knelt beside her.
βFirst, you give it soil to rest, then water to drink, and sunlight to bless it. Too much or too little, and the plant will not grow.β
Adhrit frowned. βBut how will I remember all this?β
Amma smiled. βIβll show you once. Then you try. With practice, youβll feel whatβs right.β
Later in the kitchen, Junior tugged at her motherβs saree.
βAmma, how does your sambar always taste so good?β
Her mother stirred the pot.
βBecause I donβt just throw things in. I listen. A pinch of salt, a little tamarind, fresh curry leavesβ¦ cooking is like gardening β care matters more than speed.β
Adhrit watched carefully, then tried her own ladle. The taste wasnβt perfect, but it was hers.
Amma hugged her.
βSee? You asked, I guided, and you learned. Someday youβll make your own recipes and your own garden. For now, I am here to help you begin.β
That night, Adhrit whispered as He drifted off to sleep:
βAmma, you are my guide. With you, I can grow and learn to do things on my own.β
Now, how do we map this Agentic AI and MCP?

Technology Mapping
| Story Element |  Technology Concept |  Mapped Role |
|---|---|---|
| Junior (the child) | Agentic AI | The helper who tries, learns, and improves through practice. |
| Mother (the guide) | MCP (Model Context Protocol) | Provides structure, guidance, and safe steps so the helper doesnβt get lost. |
| Garden (plants, seeds) | Tools | Actions the AI can use (watering, planting = running tools). |
| Kitchen (recipes, soup) | Resources | Knowledge sources like recipe books, databases, or knowledge bases. |
| Juniorβs memory | Memory Mapping | Lessons remembered from past tries, used to get better each time. |
| Mother + Junior together | Complete AI System | Harmony of guidance (MCP) and action (Agentic AI) working together effectively. |
