🌱 Lumi and the Little Seed

A soft, quiet story for little hands and big hearts.

One morning, Lumi found a tiny seed.

It was round. It was smooth.

Lumi held the seed with care.

"Hello, little one," whispered Lumi.

"You can stay with me."

Lumi placed the seed in a small brown pot.

A bit of soft soil.

A gentle splash of water.

Drip, drip, drip.

And tucked it into warm, soft soil.

"Good night, tiny seed," said Lumi.

"Grow when you're ready."

The next morning, Lumi came back.

"Good morning, little seed."

Still soil. Still quiet.

Lumi smiled.

Day after day, Lumi visited.

Watered with love.

Waited with wonder.

Days passed.

Nothing happened.

Then one day --

A little green curl peeked out!

It stretched… and stretched…

And became a tiny sprout! 🌱

Lumi clapped!

"You're growing!"

Each day, the sprout grew a little taller.

First, two leaves.

Then more.

Then taller and taller.

But one day…

Something felt different.

The leaves were quiet.

The tips looked dry.

Lumi leaned close.

"Hmm.. Are you okay?"

Lumi gave water, soft and slow.

Still no change.

Lumi looked and looked.

Then gently asked,

"Mama?"

Mama looked closely.

"Maybe the sprout needs sun."

Together, they moved the pot.

A warm window. A quiet spot.

Sunlight poured in like a hug. ☀️

"Let's try this," said Mama.

"We'll give it water, love, and sunshine."

Every morning, Lumi came back.

"Good morning, plant."

Lumi watered it with care, smiled and waited patiently.

Day by day…

The leaves turned green again.

The brown edges faded.

And soon, the plant grew strong and tall.

A new bud peeked out at the top. Then another.

Lumi grinned.

"You're not a little seed anymore.

You're a big, beautiful plant!"

And every day, Lumi cared for it —

with love, water, and sunshine.
