Once upon a time, there was a small shrub that lived in the forest. It had a green stalk that reached up to the sky and its branches were covered in sharp spines.
One day, the shrub discovered that it could release tiny spores called spores into the air to spread its seeds. The spore traveled far and wide, and eventually, they landed on the ground and grew into new shrubs just like the original.
The other plants in the forest were amazed by the shrub's ability to spread its seeds and grow so many new plants. They all admired the shrub's strength and resilience, and the shrub became known as the king of the forest.
From that day on, the shrub continued to release its spores into the air, and the forest grew stronger and more beautiful with each passing day.
The end.

3. How did the shrub spread its seeds?
4. Why was the shrub known as the king of the forest?
5. What happened to the forest after the shrub released its spores?
