## Story

**Page 1:** Sunny planted one tomato seed. She watered it each day.

**Page 2:** A green plant grew tall in the garden, and little yellow flowers bloomed all along its stem.

**Page 3:** One tiny tomato grew on the vine, small and green and hard in the warm summer sun.

**Page 4:** Sunny waited. She did not pick it yet.

**Page 5:** Days passed slowly, and the tomato turned pink in the sun, and then a deep, rich red.

**Page 6:** 'It is ready!' Sunny cheered with joy as she picked the red tomato very gently from the vine.

**Page 7:** The tomato was round and juicy. It smelled like summer.

**Page 8:** Sunny sliced it with care. She shared it with friends.

**Page 9:** Everyone tasted the tomato and smiled, agreeing that one tomato shared by all tasted the very best.

**Page 10:** One tomato, shared by all, tasted the very best.
