The Little Seed's Big Journey
Once there was a tiny seed, no bigger than a speck of dust. It lived inside a juicy red
apple, high up in a tree. The little seed dreamed of growing into a tall, strong apple
tree itself, full of sweet, red apples.
One day, a friendly bird landed on the branch and pecked at the apple. The apple fell
to the ground with a soft thud. The little seed tumbled out and landed in the soft, dark
earth. It was a bit scared, but also excited.
Soon, the sun shone down, warming the earth, and gentle rain began to fall. The little
seed felt a tiny tingle. A small root pushed its way down, and a tiny sprout reached up
towards the light. Day by day, it grew a little taller, a little stronger.
Years passed, and the little seed grew into a magnificent apple tree. Its branches were
wide, its leaves were green, and in the autumn, it was covered in bright red apples.
Birds nested in its branches, and children played under its shade. The little seed's big
dream had come true!
