I see wiggly worms! I see a ladybug with spots!

(surprised) I feel… taller. Just a bit.

Oh! That tickles. The earth is holding my hand. childs.play.2

(peeks one eye open) A tree? That sounds heavy. I’m so small.

(hugs Seed with light) You always had the sky inside you. You just needed to stretch. I see wiggly worms

See? Now try a leg. (Seed stretches a little more.)

Small is just the beginning. Want to try… one tiny stretch? Scene 2: The First Stretch (Seed slowly uncurls one arm upward.) Just a bit

That’s all for today. Tomorrow, one more stretch. Scene 3: Growing Up (Each time they repeat the scene, Seed grows a little taller, standing up slowly.)

(shakes head, stays curled) No, thank you. It’s cozy down here. Dark and quiet. What if I grow… and I’m too tall? What if I’m the wrong shape?
