Once upon a time, there was a tiny seed sleeping quietly in the ground.
The seed was small and round. It could not see the sky. It could not feel the warm sunshine. All around it was soft brown soil.
One day, the little seed wondered, "What is above me?"
The earthworm nearby smiled.
"Above you is a wonderful world," said the earthworm. "There is sunshine, fresh air, and colorful flowers."
The seed became curious.
"I want to see it!" the seed said.
But first, the seed needed help.
A gentle rain began to fall. Tiny drops of water soaked into the soil.
The seed drank the water and felt stronger.
Soon, the warm sun shined above the ground.
Even though the seed could not see the sun yet, it could feel the warmth.
The seed stretched and stretched.
A tiny root grew downward.
A tiny green shoot grew upward.
Every day the seed drank water and enjoyed the warmth.
Slowly, it pushed through the soil.
Then one morning, the little shoot popped out of the ground.
"Wow!" said the sprout.
The sky was blue.
Birds sang in the trees.
Butterflies fluttered through the air.
The little plant continued to grow.
Its stem became taller.
Its leaves became bigger.
Then something amazing happened.
A beautiful flower bloomed at the top.
The flower smiled at the sun.
The little seed had finally reached the wonderful world above the ground.
And it learned something important.
With water, sunshine, soil, and time, tiny seeds can grow into beautiful plants.
Fun Nature Fact
