A good story of the day Baby elephants and small trees

The baby elephant moved, where did it move? Moved to a small river at the bend of the bay.

The baby elephant's parents are busy cleaning up the new house.

What about baby elephants? Nor is it idle. It planted a small sapling in front of its house. It said to the little sapling, "Let's compare and see who grows faster!"

Baby elephants eat a lot of leaves and grass every day. So, the baby elephant can grow fat!

A year passed. The baby elephant is compared to the small tree, and it is much taller than the small tree. The baby elephant said, "How?" I'm faster than you, right?"

But what about the next year? Small trees and baby elephants grow as tall.

Baby elephants eat more grass and leaves every day than small trees.

But by the third year, the little tree had grown taller than the baby elephant and had become thicker. The baby elephant didn't understand what was going on. It went to ask Dad. "I eat a lot of grass and leaves every day, but I can't see the small trees eating and drinking, why don't I grow taller than it?"

Like Dad said, "How do you know that the little tree doesn't eat?" It eats a lot of food in a day!"

The baby elephant asked, "How can I not see?"

Like Dad said, "Well, tomorrow we're going to move again." We took the little tree with us and planted it in front of our new house. Tomorrow when digging the tree, Dad tells you what to eat with the little tree. ”

The next day, Elephant Dad carefully dug out the small tree with a shovel.

The little elephant saw that under the small tree, there were many whiskers like beards. It asked strangely, "Dad, what is this?"

Like Dad said, "This is the root of a little tree." The little tree uses it to drink water and eat. ”

The baby elephant asked, "Is the root of a small tree like our mouth?"

Elephant Dad said, "You're right. The roots of small trees grow in the soil. Every day it relies on roots to absorb nutrients and water. When it becomes a tree, drink more than a dozen buckets of water a day!"

The little elephant asked again, "Dad, does the little tree get nourishment from the roots alone?" Like Dad said, "No. In addition to the roots, the leaves of small trees are also used to make nutrients. ”

The baby elephant asked strangely, "How can leaves make nutrients?"

As Dad said, "When the sun shines on the leaves." Each leaf seems to be a small factory, making a lot of nutrients for the small tree to eat. ”

The little elephant finally understood the truth that the little tree grows fast. It is the nutrients that the roots and leaves give to the small trees.

After that, the baby elephant loved the little tree even more. Give it water and weeds every day. What about small trees? Grow stronger.
