    A farmer was transporting seeds to market when one fell from his cart after hitting a stone in the road. The seed expressed fear of not being safe in the ground and a passing buffalo helped push it into the soil. When rain came, the seed said it was thirsty and began to grow into a shoot. Over time it developed leaves and roots to withstand birds trying to eat it. Many years later, the seed had grown into a large, strong tree that now produces seeds of its own.

    The lucky seed Short story

    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.
