Once upon a time there was a pumpkin who lived in a garden. The pumpkin counted its seeds and found out that it had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven seeds. It wanted to do something special with each seed. So, the pumpkin decided to plant each seed and see what would grow. The first seed grew into a beautiful flower, the second seed grew into a tasty tomato, the third seed grew into a juicy watermelon, the fourth seed grew into a sweet strawberry, the fifth seed grew into a crunchy carrot, the sixth seed grew into a lovely lavender and the seventh seed grew into a happy sunflower. The pumpkin was so proud of all the things it had grown and lived happily ever after.

Reflections

1. What kind of seeds did the pumpkin have?
2. What did each seed grow into?
3. How did the pumpkin feel about what it grew?
4. Can you think of other things that the pumpkin could have grown?
5. What would you have done if you were the pumpkin?
