were very close friends.
One day they decided to

party for their friend Appo.

By the time Appo left,
his friends started decorating
the house and preparing everything
for the party to be Amazing!

While Appo was walking in the woods,
suddenly a man saw Appo and
decided to take him home to plant him.
Appo was so scared and angry.
He tried to escape,
but he couldn’t.

Appo’s friends were waiting for him
to come back but he didn’t.
They waited and waited and
were very worried. Days passed,
waiting and still Appo did not show up.
All his friends were
worried, so they
decided to search for him.

Appo’s friends were very tired
searching for but still couldn’t find him.
Unexpectedly,
they found a small
house and decided to go there
in search for Appo.

When they reached the house,
they hear a voice singing.
This voice was very similar
to Appo’s Voice.

All of his friends started shouting,

Appo hear them and said:
I am here planted in the soil.
His friend replied:

How did you change into a small tree

Appo said: Soil is the thin layer of material
covering the earth's surface and is formed
from the weathering of rocks. It’s color
is brown. I am in a pot near the window
come and see me how I grew.

Appo’s friends were shocked
when they saw him.
They started asking him:
(Appo is this really you?)
How did you change into a small tree?
Can we change you back into
a seed and take you with us?

Appo started laughing, and he explained to them
that this process is called planting.
Appo: when I was walking down the woods
to bring a medicine for Meggo, a small kid
took me and put me in a pot filled with soil.
I was very afraid first but, I started growing
and felt so happy when drinking water everyday
and seeing the sun. few days
later, I started to grow,
and this is how I became
a small apple
tree which will be
full of apples.

WOW!! 14
Appo’s friends liked the idea so much!
They asked him if there is a way for them to be planted
and change like him. Appo called his friend who planted
him and asked him if he can plant them too.
The boy was very excited to see the three seeds,
so he took them and started planting them beside Appo.
The boy made sure to provide them with soil, water,
and sunlight in order to grow.

Days passed
and the seeds started to grow.
They were so happy that they
were now actually a plant.
After a year these plants
turned into trees full of fruits.

Pippo: I know that I am a peach
tree now. I look wonderful!
Meggo: Oh, Pippo don’t you see
my tasty Mango’s? I am more
beautiful and tastier than you.
Appi: Hey you guys, don’t you see
how marvelous my apricots
are? I am sure that people
will like my fruit more.
Appo started laughing and he said:
All of you are beautiful and tasty
including me. Stop fighting, you
should be happy that you have grown
and turned into stunning trees.
