    Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow, there was a tiny seed named Sammy. Sammy was small and shy, but he had a big dream—he wanted to grow into the tallest, strongest tree in the meadow.

    One day, a kind breeze carried Sammy to a cozy spot in the soil. “This is it!” he thought, and with a little courage, Sammy planted himself deep in the ground.

    Weeks passed, and Sammy felt the warm sun and cool rain helping him grow. At first, just a little sprout peeked out, but Sammy kept pushing upward, even when the winds blew and the rain poured hard.

    Soon, Sammy grew into a tall, strong tree with bright green leaves! Birds made nests in his branches, and children played under his shade.

    Sammy realized that even though he started small, with patience and determination, he became the biggest tree in the meadow—just like he had always dreamed.

    And from that day on, Sammy stood tall and proud, knowing that big dreams can grow from even the tiniest of seeds.
