4. She poured a little water there, but the seed stayed safe below.

5. Mina waited beside the bed while the soil held the water close.

6. Under the soil, the seed opened a tiny root and pushed downward.

7. A green shoot lifted the soil, and Mina clapped both hands.

8. Seeds grow best in soil because it keeps them safe, holds water, and gives new roots a place to push.
