The Planting Day
Kiki and his beans sprout
One sunny morning, Kiki the turtle and her best friend Cici the rabbit were excited. Kiki's mother had invited them to plant green beans in the field behind their house. She handed them tiny sprouts and said, “Please, sow some of these sprouts in the pots that are already in our fields!” Kiki and Cici nodded eagerly, ready for the adventure. They planted the beans with great care and returned home, dreaming of their future plants.

The next day, Kiki and Cici rushed back to the field. They were eager to see how their green beans had grown overnight. To their surprise, Cici's plants were sprouting happily with tiny leaves. But when Kiki looked at hers, she saw nothing but bare soil. Cici giggled, “Hahaha, your green beans don't have any progress to grow!”

Kiki felt a bit sad when she heard Cici's laughter. She stared at the empty pots, wondering what went wrong. Her heart sank as she thought about how her plants weren't growing at all. Cici noticed Kiki's sadness and stopped laughing. She said, “Don't worry, Kiki, maybe they just need a little more time.”

Determined to try again, Kiki came up with a new plan. She decided to replant her green beans with fresh seeds. This time, she added some fertilizer and made sure to water them well. Cici cheered her on, saying, “You can do it, Kiki!” Kiki felt hopeful as she watched the soil soak up the water.

The next few days were filled with anticipation. Kiki visited her pots every morning, checking for any signs of growth. She was patient, knowing that good things take time. Cici stayed by her side, offering encouragement. Kiki's heart was filled with hope as she waited for her plants to sprout.

One morning, Kiki noticed something amazing. Tiny green shoots were peeking out of the soil! She squealed with joy and called Cici over to see. “Look, Cici, they’re growing!” Kiki exclaimed. Cici clapped her paws and said, “I knew you could do it, Kiki!”

Kiki's mother came to see the progress in the field. She was delighted to see the long roots and many leaves on Kiki's plants. “I'm so proud of you, Kiki,” she said with a warm smile. Kiki beamed with pride, feeling happy that her hard work paid off. Cici and Kiki celebrated the success together.

Kiki learned an important lesson about patience and perseverance. She realized that sometimes things don't work out the first time, but it's important to try again. With Cici's support, she discovered the joy of nurturing something to life. They both agreed that growing green beans was a fun adventure. And from that day on, Kiki and Cici became the best gardeners in the field.
