Once upon a time, Sophie found a little red apple in the garden.

She picked the apple, feeling its round, smooth surface with her fingers.

Sophie took a big, crunchy bite. The apple was juicy and sweet.

As she ate, she wondered where apples came from.

Next day, Sophie's teacher talked about apple trees at school.

"Apples grow on trees!" Sophie exclaimed with a smile.

After school, she drew a picture of an apple tree and showed her mom.

Her mom suggested they plant an apple tree together.

They planted a tiny tree and watered it, hopeful it would grow.

Sophie watched the tree every day and took care of it.

Seasons passed, and the tree grew tall with many green leaves.

One sunny day, Sophie saw tiny apples starting to grow!
