The world turns green
Now the tiny green heads of new plants are poking up from the brown
earth and around the patches of snow. The little plants hold out their
tiny leaves toward the sun. Their roots push down and spread out in the
ground.
The roots of the older plants are working, too. They take in water. The
water goes up through the plant and into the new little leaves.
The land is turning green, and green means food for many animals. So now
the animals begin to appear.
Once again, plants and animals, the two kinds of living things, begin
life anew in the springtime.
