How the boys learned the story of Johnny Appleseed
A long time ago, a man named Johnny went about the countryside planting apple seeds in pastures and groves.He'd plant the seeds on people's land and leave them to be tended by the sun...
...and rain...
aaa and soon the trees began to grow.
Through the spring, the trees grew larger, blessed by the sun and healhy soil...
... and fed by the rain clouds that passed over.
Through many springs and summers, Johnny's trees grew tall and strong until ...
one day, Johnny returened to find that his trees were fruiting. What was once a small seed, was now a tall, tall tree with its own lovely red apples.
Everywhere that Johnny Appleseeds trees grew, there were apples to be picked all Autumn, enough to full baskets and crates for apple pies, apple breads, apple muffins... or just a yummy red apple.
Thank you Johnny Appleseed!
