Once upon a time, there was a little worm named Tobias who lived in a garden full of flowers, green leaves, and tall trees. Tobias was a very curious worm and always dreamed of tasting a red, juicy apple. He had heard stories from other worms about how sweet and delicious it was, but he had never seen an apple up close. In his garden, apples grew on the tallest tree, and Tobias knew he would have to do something special to get there.
One sunny morning, Tobias decided it was the perfect time to search for his apple. He said goodbye to his friends, some worm buddies who lived under a rock, and began his adventure. First, he crawled along the grass-covered ground. The path wasn’t easy; some twigs tickled him, and wet leaves made him slip. But Tobias didn’t give up because he was determined to fulfill his dream.
After a while, he reached the base of the big apple tree. He looked up and saw the fruits shining under the sun like little red jewels. “This tree is so tall!” thought Tobias. He knew he couldn’t climb the trunk alone, so he sought help. Near the tree, he found a hardworking ant named Lina, who was carrying a leaf bigger than herself.
“Hello, Lina,” said Tobias. “Could you help me climb the tree? I want to find an apple.”
Lina smiled and replied, “Of course! But we’ll need more help. This tree is very tall.”
Together, they searched for other friends in the garden. They found a butterfly named Clara, fluttering among the flowers, and a grasshopper named Riko, leaping across the lawn. When Tobias explained his plan, everyone wanted to help. “Let’s go find your apple!” they exclaimed excitedly.
The plan was simple: Lina and the other worms would form a line to create a bridge from the ground to the first branch. Clara would fly nearby to guide them, and Riko would use his strong legs to push away small branches blocking the way. Tobias would lead the way, inching slowly toward the nearest apple.
It was an incredible team effort. Tobias moved slowly but surely, while his friends cheered him on from below. “You can do it, Tobias!” they shouted. Finally, after much effort, Tobias reached the branch where a shiny red apple hung. He was so excited he could hardly believe it.
Carefully, Tobias approached the apple and took his first bite. It was even more delicious than he had imagined. “It’s perfect!” he exclaimed and shared a small piece with each of his friends who had helped him. Everyone celebrated together, eating tiny bits of apple and laughing under the sun.
From that day on, Tobias learned that no matter how difficult a dream may seem, you can always achieve it if you have good friends and determination. And although Tobias was still just a little worm, he became known throughout the garden as “Tobias, the worm who conquered the tallest apple.”
