JOHNNY APPLESEED

      Many years ago, when your grandfather’s great grandmother was still a child, there lived a boy in Boston in America called John Chapman. He loved the countryside, the flowers and the trees. He knew all about the animals and the birds who lived in the forest. His favourite tree was the apple tree. He loved to climb apple trees and eat apples as he had a rest there.

      Once while he was eating an apple he looked thoughtfully at the little brown seeds in it. “I shall plant these seeds”, he said. “Soon the whole countryside will be full of apple trees”.

      So, when John Chapman grew up he started to travel about the country with a large sack full of apple seeds on his back. He stopped every now and then and planted a seed. He often gave seeds to the people he met and asked them to plant the seeds. He was so happy and friendly that he became famous. People gave him food, asked him to stay and have a rest in their houses and they called him Johnny Appleseed.

      Soon he went far away from his hometown, and he planted apple seeds wherever he went. He planted his seeds up and down the country in the brown earth in the autumn.

      After the winter the spring came, and Johnny Appleseed went back to each place to see the little green plants coming up through the earth. Everywhere baby apple trees grew. In time they gave fruit and Johnny’s eyes were full of happiness. He saw that the children in all these places enjoyed his wonderful apples.

      Johnny Appleseed travelled a lot. While he was travelling, he always slept in the open air and cooked his own meals. He met many wolves, foxes, bears and made friends with them all. He was never afraid of animals and when even it snowed he slept in the open air.

      But one day he became ill. He was in the forest as usual but couldn’t get up as he was very weak. A mother bear and her cub looked at him sadly and went to the Indians. The Indians came after the bears and saw Johnny Appleseed under the tree and knew right away that he was their friend. They took him to their village and gave him their medicines, good food and looked after him.

      Then one sunny morning Johnny opened his eyes and smiled at his Indian friends. “You have saved me!”, he said.

      And then he left the village and went away to plant brown seeds wherever  he could.

      The years passed and Johnny was now an old man. He had long white hair but his cheeks were rosy from the fresh air and wind and his black eyes were always kind.

      Children often came to hear his stories of his different trips. Wherever he went the people of this new land knew him as the man who made their countryside rich with beautiful trees where once there was nothing but the brown earth.

The story took place many years ago in America.

He often gave seeds to the people he met and asked them to plant the seeds. He was so happy and friendly that he became famous. People gave him food, asked him to stay and have a rest        in their houses and they called him Johnny Appleseed.

      Soon he went far away from his hometown, and he planted apple seeds wherever he went. He planted his seeds up and down the country in the brown earth in the autumn.

      After the winter the spring came, and Johnny Appleseed went back to each place to see  the little green plants coming up through the earth. Everywhere baby apple trees grew. In time they gave fruit and Johnny’s eyes were full of happiness. He saw that the children in all these places enjoyed his wonderful apples.

      Johnny Appleseed travelled a lot. While he was travelling, he always slept in the open air and cooked his own meals. He met many wolves, foxes, bears and made friends with them all. He was never afraid of animals and when even it snowed he slept in the open air.

      But one day he became ill. He was in the forest as usual but couldn’t get up as he was very weak. A mother bear and her cub looked at him sadly and went to the Indians. The Indians came after the bears and saw Johnny Appleseed under the tree and knew right away that he was their friend. They took him to their village and gave him their medicines, good food and looked after him.

      Then one sunny morning Johnny opened his eyes and smiled at his Indian friends. “You have saved me!”, he said.

      And then he left the village and went away to plant brown seeds wherever  he could.

      The years passed and Johnny was now an old man. He had long white hair but his cheeks were rosy from the fresh air and wind and his black eyes were always kind.

      Children often came to hear his stories of his different trips. Wherever he went the people of this new land knew him as the man who made their countryside rich with beautiful trees where once there was nothing but the brown earth.

JOHNNY APPLESEED

      Many years ago, when your grandfather’s great grandmother was still a child, there lived    a boy in Boston in America called John Chapman. He loved the countryside, the flowers and   the trees. He knew all about the animals and the birds who lived in the forest. His favourite  tree was the apple tree. He loved to climb apple trees and eat apples as he had a rest there.

      Once while he was eating an apple he looked thoughtfully at the little brown seeds in it.     “I shall plant these seeds”, he said. “Soon the whole countryside will be full of apple trees”.

      So, when John Chapman grew up he started to travel about the country with a large sack full of apple seeds on his back. He stopped every now and then and planted a seed. He often gave seeds to the people he met and asked them to plant the seeds. He was so happy and friendly that he became famous. People gave him food, asked him to stay and have a rest         in their houses and they called him Johnny Appleseed.
