The seed

June 12, 1987

I am a seed tight in the ground. While I'm asleep, the rain comes down. When I feel the rain, my roots start to grow. Then my stem rises up slowly, so. When my leaves feel the sun, it makes me feel strong! And I grow, and I grow, 'til I'm ten feet long! (My roots grow too, you just can't see - they help me stand.) I am a tree!
