On a bright spring morning, Lina knelt in her garden and held a small, smooth brown seed in her palm. “How can you travel without legs?” she asked.
How Can a Seed Travel Without Legs?Seeds move by wind, water, fur, fruit, and popping pods, helping plants spread to places where new roots can grow.
1. On a bright spring morning, Lina knelt in her garden and held a small, smooth brown seed in her palm. “How can you travel without legs?” she asked.
2. A maple seed showed Lina one answer. Its papery wings caught the wind and carried it across the garden, but Lina’s open hand missed it by an inch.
3. Then rain filled the little stream beside the garden. A seed slipped into the water, curved around smooth stones, and came to rest in soft mud.
4. In the meadow, a burr hooked onto a rabbit’s fur. The rabbit crossed the grass, and the burr rode to a new patch of soil.
5. Near the fence, a robin carried a ripe berry to a branch. The fruit went with the bird, and its tiny seeds could be dropped far from the plant that made them.
6. On a sunny afternoon, a dry pea pod held its seeds tight. Its sides sprang apart, and the peas scattered onto the warm earth.
7. Lina set her small, smooth brown seed on the garden wall, beside a bare patch beyond the fence. A breeze lifted it, and it came to rest in the soft earth.
8. A week later, green shoots poked through the soil. Lina knelt beside them. Seeds move by wind, water, fur, fruit, and popping pods, helping plants spread to places where new roots can grow.
