Som was excited. Today, his class would plant a garden!

Miss Lin said, 'We'll grow veggies for lunch!' The kids cheered.

Each student picked a seed. Som chose a tiny tomato seed.

They used scoops and pots filled with dark, rich soil.

Som planted his seed gently and patted the soil down.

Every day, they watered their plants and watched them grow.

Green sprouts appeared. Som's sprout was small but strong.

The plants grew leaves. Som's had bright green ones.

Miss Lin taught them how to find weeds and pests.

They learned to care for the plants, pulling out the weeds.

At last, tomatoes appeared. Som's were round and red.

They made a salad with their veggies. Som was proud.
