Five Minute Bedtime Stories

Ready, Set, Grow! with Ari

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Ari. Ari loved to say, “I know! I know!” He always knew the answers.

But Ari felt a little sad because his friends weren’t playing with him.

One sunny day, a kind man named Master Garden came to school. “Who wants to plant seeds?” he asked.

“I know! I know!” said Ari. But Master Garden smiled. “Have you ever wondered how a tiny seed grows?”

Ari thought hard. He hadn’t! “I… I don’t know,” he whispered.

“Perfect!” said Master Garden. “Let’s learn together!”

They all went outside. Master Garden gave each child three little seeds. “Touch the dirt,” he said.

Ari touched the dirt. “It feels bumpy!” he said. His friends heard buzzing bees.

They put their seeds in the dirt and gave them a little drink of water.

Every day, they watched. Soon, tiny green plants poked up!

“They’re growing!” everyone cheered.

Ari smiled. “I don’t know how they know which way is up!”

Ari and his friends played together, watching their garden grow.

Master Garden smiled. “You grew something special,” he said.

Ari said, “When we explore with friends, we learn new things!”

Master Garden winked. “The best adventures start with ‘I don’t know… let’s find out together!'”
