The Seed That Waited Under the Dirt

A seed rests in the soil until water, warmth, and light help it push up a tiny green shoot.

The whole story

1. On a warm afternoon, a small brown seed rested in the garden soil.

2. The seed stayed still while the quiet soil pressed softly around it.

3. Rain slipped through the soil and made the seed damp.

4. The sun warmed the ground, and the seed waited a little longer.

5. With water and warmth, the seed opened a tiny pale root.

6. The seed curled upward, searching for the light above.

7. At last, water, warmth, and light helped a tiny green shoot push up.
