The Plant is Greener

I remember back in third or fourth grade when I got these magical beans during this event at a museum, and the first thing I wanted to do was watch the beauty grow. Of course, these beans were probably ordinary beans, with the exception of being multicolored and having small text on it that said... stuff. It was something that was probably intended to be a compliment, but I don't remember
We planted the seed and waited for it to grow. It didn't do anything for a week. Then afterwards, a little sprout came up. After only a few more days, the little sprout evolved into a large plant, complete with leaves and it started floating away from the pot.

Plants are an amazing source of fascination of life. They start as a seed, sometimes small, sometimes somewhat large. These seeds look as capable of giving life as a corpse. Yet, miraculously, they grow and evolve into this strong plant that showers the world with its beauty (sometimes... maybe not the corpse flower...)

Try planting a flower seed and watching it grow. It'll be quite a surprise to see it grow from a seed to a flower. In the same way, all people start small; it's up to the nurturing of others to make them strong and amazing.
