 E.   DISCUSSION

Answer the following questions based on the story that you have read.
 How can you describe the journey of the tiny seed?      

The journey of the tiny seed is adventurous one. The tiny seed had gone several challenges
brought by different seasons before it got settled and grown as a plant.

If you were given a chance to change the title of  the story,

what would it be and why?                  

  If I were given a chance to change the title of the story I will change it into “The journey of the
seeds” because the story is about how the seeds travel in different places.

F.   Answering the motive Invention

Let’s answer now the question that I have given.

How does being small affects you in achieving your goal?

Being small doesn’t affect me in achieving my goal because the size or height is not the

nothing could stop him/ her from achieving his/ her goal.
