the little pea (2 page)

The
little pea
went home to all the other little peas.
As soon as they saw him, they teased him and burst into laughter.

“I am a funny seed,” he said to himself. “But I am a seed in any case!”
Then, like all the other seeds, he dug a hole in the earth and snuggled in with his feather, his trunk, and his stripes.

Time passed—autumn, winter, spring. Almost a year.

One day, a plant full of little peas sprung from the earth. No one had ever seen a plant like this before!
And it was the first time that anyone had seen so many happy and different kinds of little peas.
