Once upon a time, Rabbit, Duck, and Frog were curious. They wanted to know, “Why do flowers grow?”
Frog asked Piggy, “Piggy, why do flowers grow?”
Piggy said, “Oh, I don’t know. Let’s ask Horse!”
So, Frog went to Horse and asked, “Horse, why do flowers grow?”
Horse replied, “I don’t know. Let’s ask Sheep!”
Frog, Horse, Rabbit, Duck, and Piggy all went to Sheep and asked, “Sheep, why do flowers grow?”
Sheep said, “I don’t know either. But I think Mo will know!”
They all went to Mo and asked, “Mo, why do flowers grow?”
Mo looked at the flowers and said, “They look good to me. Flowers grow for me to eat!”
Frog and Duck were not happy with Mo’s answer. They decided to have a picnic with Bee and Butterfly.
Duck asked Butterfly, “Why do flowers grow?”
Butterfly said, “I know! Flowers grow so I can have sweet nectar to drink.”
Then Bee said, “I have a different idea. Flowers grow so I can collect pollen.”
Just then, a girl came to the picnic. Frog and Duck asked her, “Why do flowers grow?”
The girl smiled and said, “Flowers grow to make picnics beautiful!”
And that’s the story of why flowers grow! Flowers are special for many reasons. They help animals, make places pretty, and even give us joy.
