The Tiny Seed
This book belongs to:

In a corner of the school garden, Priya planted a tiny seed. It was so small that it looked like a speck of dust. Her friend Tom laughed. “Nothing will grow from that,” he said.

1

Every morning, Priya gave the seed a little water. For many days, nothing happened. Priya felt worried, but she did not give up. Then one morning she saw a tiny green shoot poking out of the soil.

2

The shoot grew taller every week. It grew leaves as big as hands, and then a bud appeared at the top. One sunny day, the bud opened into a huge yellow sunflower, taller than Tom!

3

Tom stared up at it. “I was wrong,” he said. “Small things can become amazing.” Priya grinned and gave him some seeds from the flower to plant.
