PLANTS SOWING THEIR SEEDS 33 



long before men thought to plant them at all. This 

 is the food they have lived on for ages, and for ages 

 they have eaten the fruits and nuts and have helped 

 the plants at the same time by distributing the seeds, 

 just as the bees help the flowers when they are busy 

 getting their own food from them. Isn't it interesting 

 to learn how the animals and plants help each other 

 day by day? 



The plants' helpers are God's helpers, too. 



All are needed by each one; 

 Nothing is fair or good alone. 



The birds and the bees, the squirrels, and the wind 

 are His servants, doing their share to make our world 

 better and more beautiful. And we, when we plant 

 seeds — flower seeds, fruit seeds, or those of trees or 

 vegetables — are helping the whole world as much as 

 ourselves. If we take care of the gardens and try to 

 have each plant healthy and well formed we are 

 making more beautiful and useful the wonderful 

 garment the earth wears.
