Maya and the Tiny Seed

In a bright little town, there lived a cheerful girl named Maya. One sunny day, she found a tiny seed.

"I will raise you into a big, beautiful flower!" she exclaimed. Maya watered the seed every day, singing sweet songs and dancing around it.

Slowly, the seed sprouted, reaching for the sun. With love and care, it grew tall and strong.

Maya learned that raising something takes patience and kindness. Just like her flower, we can help our friends and family grow too!
