Johnny Appleseed (1)

《One of America's fondest legends is that of Johnny Appleseed, a folk hero and pioneer apple farmer in 1800' 》

There was one thing Johnny Appleseed like to do better than anything else.
That was to find a sunny spot and dig a little hole and plant an apple seed. For he knew the seed would grow into sturdy apple tree.

Johnny dug his little holes and planted apple seeds, and he dug and he planted some more, until the whole countryside around his home was dotted with fine young apple trees.

" I don't know what I'll do when there's no place left for planting apple trees, " said Johnny to his animal friend on the farm.



One day as he was walking own the road, looking for a spot to plant just one more apple seed, Johnny heard the sound at singing, coming closer and closer.

" Git on a wagon rolling West,
  Cut to the great unknown.
  Git on a wagon rolling West,
  Or you'll be left alone. "

Then, as Johnny watched, down the road came a very long line of covered wagons drawn by great oxen.
Beside each wagon walked a tall, strong man dressed in deerskin.
Each man had a rifle swinging at his side.

These were the pioneers.
