Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there was a contest to grow the tallest seed. A boy named Jack entered the contest with a special seed he had found in a mine. He took good care of the seed and watched it grow tall day by day.

But one day, Jack realized that the other seeds had grown past his. He felt sad and wondered what went wrong. Just then, he remembered something his grandma had told him: "Don't worry about the past, focus on the next."

So Jack decided to focus on the future and not worry about the past. He continued to take care of his seed, and soon enough, it grew taller than all the others. He had won the contest!

From then on, Jack learned that it's not just about growing a tall seed, but also about having a positive attitude and focusing on the future. The end.
