"George, umbrellas and chairs are

not for burying," the man with the

yellow hat explained.

"They are made by people. They

are not going to grow. Seeds and

nuts will grow."

A few days later George saw

something new in the yard.

It was a sprout!

"Look, George," said his friend.

"A seed you buried is growing!

I wonder what it will be."

Soon there was a beautiful

sunflower in the yard.

George had a green

thumb after all!

YOU CAN DO IT

GEORGE DISCOVERS THAT NOT EVERYTHING GROWS ...

BUT SOME THINGS CERTAINLY DO!

If you'd like to grow something, try planting beans. In a few days, you'll have bean sprouts! You may need to ask a grownup for help with this exercise.

1. Fill a jar or plastic cup with half a cup of dried beans (a grownup can find these at the grocery store).

2. Cover them halfway with cool water.

3. Place a piece of nylon or cheesecloth on top of the cup and secure it with a rubber band.

4. Put it in a shady place for eight hours.

5. Gently drain the water through the cloth covering. Then add more water and immediately drain again.

6. Return the jar to the shady spot you found, but this time rest it on its side to give the beans more room to grow.
