The Journey of the Seed by Amelia Henderson
















~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Journey of the Seed

One day a farmer was planting seeds in his garden and he
dropped this particular seed that I am going to be writing about.

Let’s call him Willy.  One day when Willy got carefully dropped into his newly furnished hole, all the strangeness happened………….

On the fifth day of his “ensoilment” he started to grow until, POP!
He popped out of his hole.  Finally he could breathe again, “aah,”
 he thought to himself, “how nice to breathe again.” but his journey wasn’t over yet!

On the tenth day he started to grow even more!
He started to grow leaves! He wondered what they were.
Whenever they swayed in the wind he would yell “ARRGH!!! They are alive!!!!!!” and the other leaves would giggle at him.

Now, on the fifteenth day what happened was ever so strange, even I could not believe it! Willy started to grow flowers! He always thought that flowers were girly and were meant to be for girls only! He tried to gnaw on it every day but he would always end up with a scar of some sort.

In the end Willy came to like the flower and he ended being a prop for plant movies!

So my friends the time has come to close the book and put it away somewhere safe because you never know maybe a bean might just pop out of it!
