The Little Seed
Once there was a tiny seed. It lay in the cold, dark ground all winter. The seed was very small, but it had a big dream. It dreamed of growing into a tall, strong plant.
When spring came, the sun shone brightly, and warm rain fell. The tiny seed began to wake up. First, a little root grew down into the soil. Then, a tiny green sprout pushed its way up towards the light.
Day by day, the sprout grew taller and stronger. Its leaves unfolded, reaching for the sun. Soon, it was a beautiful plant, full of bright flowers. The little seed's dream had come true!
