The Seed Speaks

Such good days they were! I was hanging on a thin branch of a big tree. Birds sang on the tree. Squirrels lived inside it.

One day a group of parrots came to the tree. They started poking all the ripen fruits on the tree. As I also was ripen one parrot started poking me. But the moment it poked, I fell down from the tree!

I was very sad that I had been separated from my whole family which lived on the tree.

I lost all my hope and thought, “Will I come in use of someone now? Or will I be rotten and die in vain?”

Just then, a squirrel climbed down the tree and started to lick the part where the parrot had poked me. “Thank god! I’m not going useless” I thought and the squirrel happily nibbled on me.

Months later, I was covered by the dark soil all around me. The wind had pushed it over me.

Some more months later, a crack appeared on me, I thought that everything would end here. I got very worried, but some time later, I got pushed out of the soil and I saw the Beautiful world around me and I got to know this was only the beginning- I would see more wonders as I grew up.

And now, year later, I am telling this story, rising even greater than my mother tree. I felt really sad when I saw her die but I had taken her place, as my children would, their children would…..

This chain would continue, always.
