Think and Reflect

• Have you ever had to wait a long time for something? What did you do while you waited?
• Milo planted a seed he couldn't see growing yet. What is one small thing you are working on that needs patience?

• What did Dadi Mouse mean when she said "some of the best things take a little longer to arrive"?

Creative Corner Write 2–3 sentences about what Milo's tiny seed might grow into. What might he find in the pot one week later? How will he feel when he sees it?
