The Story of The Sunflower

https://www.clover.okstate.edu/fourh/aitc/lessons/intermed/plants.pdf



There once was a cold and lonely sunflower seed, buried just beneath the garden SOIL and PROTECTED from the cold winter AIR. The seed was a patient seed that waited for the summer SUNLIGHT. Before the summer SUNLIGHT came, spring rains WATERED the SOIL that PROTECTED the seed. Then the SUN began to shine. As the SOIL began to warm up, the seed’s TEMPERATURE began to rise, too. Suddenly the seed burst open, sending a shoot up toward the SUNLIGHT. The roots grew deeper into the SOIL to search for FOOD. As the shoot began to reach the surface, it could feel the warm TEMPERATURE and feel the cool AIR. The seed became a sunflower plant and began to grow taller and stronger as it enjoyed the SUNLIGHT, WATER, AIR, FOOD, perfect TEMPERATURE and SOIL. The gardener did her best to PROTECT the sunflower from insects, disease and weeds. As the sunflower plant continued to grow it began to sprout leaves. These leaves enjoyed the SUNLIGHT, WATER, fresh AIR and warm TEMPERATURE. The leaves produced chlorophyll, which converted carbon dioxide from the AIR and nutrients and WATER from the SOIL into FOOD to make the sunflower plant grow. The plant grew and grew until one day a beautiful flower began to form. The sunflower needed FOOD, WATER, SOIL, fresh AIR, SUNLIGHT, good TEMPERATURE and PROTECTION to do its job. As the flower grew, it began to produce sunflower seeds for the gardener, the birds and the squirrels to enjoy. As summer turned to fall, the AIR TEMPERATURE began to cool, and the days grew shorter. The leaves didn’t have enough SUNLIGHT to photosynthesize FOOD. After harvesting the seeds, the gardener stopped WATERING and PROTECTING the plant. The sunflower plant began to wilt and dry until finally it collapsed on the ground, scattering the last of its seeds into the garden SOIL. The newly-scattered seeds were patient, buried just beneath the SOIL, waiting for the spring rains to bring WATER and the summer to bring SUNLIGHT, AIR, FOOD, warmer TEMPERATURES and the gardener’s PROTECTION. And the seed burst open and began to grow . . . . And there is no end to this story.
