The Tiny Seed's Adventure

In a little garden, a tiny seed lay snug in the soil. One sunny day, it felt a tickle from the warm sun and a splash from the rain.

"Time to wake up!" thought the seed. Slowly, it began to sprout! A little green shoot peeked out, stretching towards the sky.

"Look at me!" it cheered. The other plants clapped their leaves in joy. With love from the sun and rain, the sprout grew taller and stronger, dreaming of becoming a big, beautiful plant one day.

Every big plant starts as a tiny sprout! What will you grow today?
