Once upon a time, there was a famous professor who lived during the Civil War. He was known for his love of crops and the soil they grew in. He was horrified to learn that many of the people who worked the fields were slaves, forced to work without respect or fair treatment.

The professor decided to do something about it. He spent all of his time studying and inventing new ways to help the crops grow better in poor soil. Finally, he succeeded! His invention was so successful that it was presented to Congress and eventually became widely used all over the country. The slaves were finally given the respect and fair treatment they deserved, and the crops flourished like never before.

The moral of the story is that with hard work and determination, we can make a difference in the world, even if it takes time. And always remember to treat others with respect, no matter their background or circumstances.

Reflections

1. Why did the professor care about the slaves?
2. How did the professor invent a solution to help the crops grow better?
3. What was the professor's invention presented to?
4. Why was it important for the slaves to receive fair treatment?
5. What did the professor teach us about hard work and determination?
