On a vast expanse of land, there was a tiny tree seed. It was gently brought here by the breeze and then lay quietly in the soil. The surrounding soil was dark and fertile, like a soft quilt covering the little seed. Although the little seed was still very small, it had already begun to harbor the power of life, like a little treasure waiting to be unlocked. The sunlight shone on the land, as if bringing a signal of hope to the little seed. It knew that it was about to embark on a wonderful growth journey.
After some time, the little seed began to change. It strived to absorb water and nutrients in the soil and then slowly broke through the shackles of the soil. A tender green sprout emerged, looking at the world curiously. The leaves of the sprout were still very tender, with a little bit of soil marks on them, just like the eye boogers on a child's face who has just woken up. Raindrops fell, tick - tock, hitting the sprout. This was like the baptism given to the sprout by nature, and the sprout became more vibrant under the nourishment of the raindrops. The little insects around also discovered this new life. A little ant slowly crawled beside the sprout, as if saying hello to it.
As time passed, the sprout grew taller and taller and became a young sapling. The branches of the young sapling became a bit thicker, and it began to grow new leaves. Each piece of tender green leaf was like a small fan, swaying gently in the breeze. The young sapling raised its head to welcome the sunshine. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light spots. The young sapling felt warm, knowing that sunlight was an important source of energy for its growth. There were also more and more little insects. A little butterfly flitted around the young sapling, as if celebrating the growth of the young sapling.
The young sapling continued to grow hard. It grew taller day by day. Its branches kept stretching out in all directions, as if embracing the world. Now the young sapling was much taller than the surrounding grass, and it could see farther. The birds discovered this continuously growing young sapling and began to build nests on its branches. A little bird held a twig in its beak and was busy among the branches of the young sapling. Looking at the birds, the young sapling no longer felt lonely. The gentle breeze blew gently, and the leaves of the young sapling rustled, as if chatting with the birds.
After many spring, summer, autumn and winter, the young sapling finally grew into a big tree. The trunk of the big tree was so thick that several children couldn't encircle it hand in hand. The crown of the big tree was very dense, like a huge green umbrella. In the hot summer, people could take shade under the big tree. Squirrels ran up and down the trunk of the big tree, looking for the nuts they had stored. The big tree became a part of the forest. It provided habitats for many small animals and also added a thick touch of green to this land. Standing there, it was like a guardian, witnessing all the changes around it and also contributing its own strength to nature.
