The Magic Seed Augustin Pacheco

When Raquel and her small daughter, Mireya, go hiking in the forest, they find a sparkle on a rock, which turns out to be a tiny seed. They take it home. When they get home, they plant the seed in a pot. The next morning, they discover that the seed is already growing a shoot. At the end of the day, a tree is growing fast and is almost as tall as Mireya.



Mireya tells her school friends about it, and they come to see the tree at the end of the day. It gets dark while they are admiring the tree. The children gather in a circle around the tree in astonishment as the tree lights their faces with its glow and sparkle.



Raquel and Mireya take the small tree to a meadow where they plant it. Days later, they find that the small tree has grown into a giant tree. Mireya climbs the tree, and her mother gets worried and calls her friend, who comes in a helicopter. They fly up and find Mireya skipping along a large branch.



They spend the night in the tree which has grown fruit, nuts, veggies, and seeds which sparkle and glow, and they all have parachutes. When they fly down in the helicopter, they see the produce slowly gliding to the ground.



People come from all over to get food from the giant tree.
