A Tiny Seed Tells a Mighty Tale: A Bug's Life
Did You Ever See Such a Sight in Your Life, As a Beetle to Kiss a Butterfly?
Once upon a time, in a field far, far away, a little girl named Lily loved bugs. She wasn't afraid of them like some of her friends. Instead, she found them fascinating! She loved watching them crawl on the ground and fly through the air. She knew they were an important part of her world. One day, Lily was playing in the garden when she saw a tiny seed. It was so small that she almost missed it. But Lily had a keen eye, especially for tiny treasures. She bent down to get a closer look.
As she peered at the seed, she wondered what might come from it. Maybe a giant sunflower reaching for the sky? Or a juicy watermelon with seeds that tickle your tummy? Lily giggled, What kind of amazing plant will you become? she whispered to the seed. Just then, something incredible happened! The ground began to tremble and shake. Lily gasped. From the ground, the seed sprouted, split open and began to grow right before her very eyes!
The little seed grew taller and taller, and wider and wider, until it was bigger than Lily! It was the most unusual plant Lily had ever seen, shaped like a giant beanstalk with huge leaves as wide as Lily's arm span. Suddenly, a teeny, tiny ladybug landed ever so gently on one of the leaves and began nibbling away at its edges.
What are you doing?! Lily cried in alarm. You're going to hurt the plant! The ladybug stopped nibbling and turned to look at Lily. Don't worry, the ladybug chirped in a surprisingly loud voice. This plant is a special kind of beanstalk; it loves to be nibbled on! It helps the plant to grow big and strong.
Lily was amazed. She had never heard of a plant that liked to be eaten by bugs! With a tiny wave, the ladybug said See you around, and flew off to nibble on some more leaves. Lily watched in awe as the plant continued to grow taller and wider, its leaves rustling in the gentle breeze. She realized that the ladybug was right. The plant seemed happy to be nibbled on!
Bugs are cool and amazing?! Thanks for loving bugs too! 🐞
From that day on, Lily looked at bugs differently. She realized that they weren't just creepy crawlies, but each played a special role in the garden. She knew that without bugs, her garden would not be as beautiful or as full of life!
