Once upon a time, a tiny seed was planted in the ground. This was no ordinary seed. It was a special apple seed! Over time, it grew into a young apple tree. In spring, beautiful white blossoms bloomed on the tree. As summer arrived, these blossoms slowly turned into tiny green apples. As days passed and the warm sun shined, the apples grew bigger and changed from green to red. By fall, the apples were juicy and ripe, ready to be picked and enjoyed!
