SEEDLING THAT DIDNT WANT TO GROW (HB)

This story about a reluctant seedling packs a powerful message about the benefits of being different. It's early spring and below the earth's surface seeds are just starting to sprout. One by one they stretch through the dirt and towards the sun, extending their shoots and leaves and growing tall. All except for one seedling, who isn't quite ready. But the little seedling persists, and in the end, this little seed turns into a flower that's just as beautiful and healthy as all the others.
