The Carrot Seed

Ruth Krauss

One day, a little boy planted a carrot seed.

His mother said, “ I’m afraid it won’t come up. “
His father said, “ I’m afraid it won’t come up. “
His brother said, “ I’m won’t come up. “
Everyday, the little boy still watered the ground and pull out the weeds.
But nothing come up. And nothing came up.
Everyone said it wouldn’t come up.
But everyday, the little boy still watered the ground and pulled out the weeds.
And then, one day... A carrot plant came up.
Just as the little boy had known it would.
