― Cree Prophecy
The Courageous Seedling In a dense forest, a tiny seedling sprouted amidst towering trees. It looked up at them, feeling small and insignificant. However, the seedling was determined to grow tall and strong like its surroundings. It faced storms, lack of sunlight, and even ridicule from other plants. But it persisted, its roots digging deep into the earth. Years passed, and one day, a massive tree fell during a storm, creating an opening in the canopy. The determined seedling finally received its chance to reach for the sky. With unwavering resolve, it grew rapidly, utilizing the newfound sunlight and space. The seedling transformed into a magnificent tree, inspiring all who witnessed its journey – a symbol of perseverance and the incredible potential hidden within even the smallest beginnings.
