It was a beautiful spring day right after a refreshing rain.   Sarah 

the sunflower was grateful for the wonderful spring shower, but 

now she was enjoying the warm sun as it bounced off of her leaves. 

As Sarah enjoyed the sun, her stomach began to rumble.

"Gee I am very hungry.   Where do I need to go to get some food.  

I'm just a young sunflower; before, while I was germinating, I 

had food to eat inside my seed but now I don't know what to do."

Sarah set out to find something to nibble on.

Sarah strolled over to Hector the Hemlock.   Hector was a very 

large and old tree who had a bad reputation for being very 

rude and nasty.

"Hector, I am new around here and I am getting hungry.  

Where can I go to get something to eat?"

"Ha, figures.   Sunflowers are known for not being too bright.  

There isn't anywhere to GO and get food you ignorant flower.  

You must make it yourself."

"But I don't even know how to cook!"   exclaimed Sarah. 

Sarah went back to her lonely spot on the hillside.   There she 

sat wondering what on earth Hector meant.   How was she 

supposed to make her own food?

The sun was beaming now.   So Sarah decided to sit in the sun 

for a while and ponder her newest life question.

Suddenly, Sarah felt something very sweet running down her 

stalk.   It tasted fabulous, but where was it coming from?   It 

was almost like she had just taken a sip of freshly squeezed 

lemonade.

As Sarah sat enjoying the yummy sweetness, Bartholomew 

Bumble Bee flew by.   Sarah had heard that Bartholomew was 

very intelligent so she decided to ask him where the delightful 

sweetness had come from.

"Barty, I just tasted something sweet.   I have not eaten today, 

and have no idea where it has come from. Can you please tell 

me?"

"First of all my name is not Barty.   It is Bartholomew, and yes, 

I can explain to you.   It is rather simple, you are undergoing 

photosynthesis."
