THE CORN SEED
Look-and-Say words
Sound-and-Say words
1. One day, Tom went to the store to get some corn for his horse.
2. As he came in at the garden gate, a thorn from a rose bush tore a hole in the bag.
3. Some of the corn fell out, and one seed was left near the porch.
4. Next day a storm came. The rain fell on the seed, and, after a short time, it began to grow.
5. First a little green shoot came, and then the stalk began to grow higher and higher.
6. Soon, the plant could look over all the other plants in the garden.
7. Tom tied it with a cord, so that the wind would not blow it down.
8. He took his garden fork and dug the ground around it.
9 "Soon," he said, "I shall cut down the corn plant and give its seeds to my horse."
10. "You must wait till its flowers die, before you can do that," said his mother.
Then its seeds will turn from green to gold.
11. Each day the sun shone on the plant, till at last, Tom found he could cut off the ripe cob and give it to his horse for dinner.
