In a world ravaged by drought and famine, a lone seed holds the key to hope. Passed down for generations, it's the last of its kind. With trembling hands, a young girl plants it in the dry, barren soil. Every day she tends to it, praying for a miracle. Weeks pass, and the seed sprouts, a single green stem reaching for the sky. With tears in her eyes, the girl knows her people will survive. They'll have food, water, and a future. The last seed has given them everything they need to thrive.
