The lucky
seed
A long time ago, a farmer took
a big bag of seeds to sell at the market.
Suddenly, his cart’s wheel hit
a big stone. Bump! One of the seeds fell out of the bag and onto
the hot, dry ground.
“I’m scared!” said the seed. “I
need to be safe under the soil”.
Just then, a buffalo walked on
the seed and pushed it into the ground.
“I’m thirsty!” said the seed.
“I need some water to help me grow”
Just then, it started to
rain
The next morning the seed had
a little green shoot. All day it sat in the sun and grew taller and
taller.
The next day it had its first
leaf. This helped it to catch sunlight and
grow.
That evening a hungry bird
tried to eat it but the seed had roots to help it stay in the
ground.
Many years of sunshine and
rain passed. The seed became a plant and then the plant became a
tree.
Today if you visit the
countryside, you can see the tree. It is big and strong and now
makes seeds of its own.
