  1. Hi, everyone.
  2. It's teacher Jasmine, and today we're going to read a
  3. story together called the Tiny Seed.
  4. All right, let's begin.
  5. It is autumn.
  6. A strong wind is blowing.
  7. It blows flower seeds high in the air and carries
  8. them far across the land.
  9. One of the seeds is tiny, smaller than any of
  10. the others.
  11. Will it be able to keep up with the others?
  12. And where are they all going?
  13. One of the seeds flies higher than the others.
  14. Up, up it goes.
  15. It flies too high and the sun's hot rays burn
  16. it up.
  17. But the tiny seed sales on with the others.
  18. Another seed lands on a tall and icy mountain.
  19. The ice never melts, and the seed cannot grow.
  20. The rest of the seeds fly on, but the tiny
  21. seat does not go as fast as the others.
  22. Now they fly over the ocean.
  23. One seed falls into the water and drowns.
  24. The others sail on with the wind, But the tiny
  25. seed does not go as high as the others.
  26. One seed drifts down onto the desert.
  27. It is hot and dry, and the sea cannot grow.
  28. Now the tiny seed is flying very low, but the
  29. wind pushes it on with the others.
  30. Finally, the wind stops and the seeds fall gently down
  31. on the ground.
  32. A bird comes by and eats one seed.
  33. The tiny seed is not in.
  34. It is so small that the bird does not see
  35. it. Now it is winter.
  36. After their long trip, the seeds settled down.
  37. They look just as if they're going to sleep in
  38. the earth.
  39. Snow falls and covers them like a soft white blanket.
  40. Ah, hungry mouse that also lives in the ground.
  41. It's a seed for his lunch, but the tiny seed
  42. lies very still, and the mouse does not see it.
  43. Now it is spring.
  44. After a few months, the snow has melted.
  45. It is really spring.
  46. Birds fly by, the sun shines.
  47. Rainfalls. The seeds grow so round and full they start
  48. to burst.
  49. Open a little.
  50. Now they are not scenes anymore.
  51. They are plans.
  52. First, they send roots down into the earth.
  53. Then there little sense and leaves begin to grow up
  54. toward the sun and air.
  55. There is another plant that grows much faster than the
  56. new little plants.
  57. It is a big fat weed and it takes all
  58. the sunlight and the rain away from one of the
  59. small new plants, and that little plant dies.
  60. The tiny seed hasn't begun to grow yet.
  61. It will be too late.
  62. Hurry. But finally it too starts to grow into a
  63. plant. The warm weather also brings the Children out to
  64. play. They, too, have been waiting for the sun and
  65. spring time.
  66. One child doesn't see the plants as he runs along,
  67. and, oh, he breaks one.
  68. Now it cannot grow anymore.
  69. The tiny plant that grew from the tiny seed is
  70. growing fast, but its neighbor gross even faster before the
  71. tiny plant has three leaves.
  72. The other plant has seven and look a bud and
  73. now even a flower.
  74. But what is happening?
  75. First there are footsteps.
  76. Then a shadow looms over them.
  77. Then a hand reaches down and breaks off the flower.

  79. friend. It is summer now.
