“Come on,” called Clac. He sat on the turf balk dividing his strip from the next, waiting impatiently. “This sun… I’ve had enough of it.”

“So have I,” groaned Grim. He slumped against the balk.

“And so have I,” sighed Swein, collapsing in a heap like a sack of potatoes. Suddenly, a movement caught Clack's attention.

“Come on,” cried Clac, “you and you and all the rest of you.”

Panting heavily, the others followed him. “Look!” insisted Clac, pointing again. “Look!” And there, huddling in the hollow of the largest pit, the cottars saw what Clac had seen: two green children. Their skin was green, their hair was green, they wore green clothes. And one was a boy, the other was a girl.

LC: To describe the functions of different parts of flowering plants and trees.

Roots
- Anchor the Plant: Roots hold the plant in place in the soil.
- Absorb Water and Nutrients: They take in water and minerals from the soil, which are essential for the plant's growth.
Stem
- Support: The stem holds up the plant, supporting leaves, flowers, and fruit.
- Transport: It acts like a highway, moving water, nutrients, and food between the roots and leaves.
Leaves
- Photosynthesis: Leaves make food for the plant through a process called photosynthesis, where they use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food (sugar).
- Gas Exchange: Leaves take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which is essential for the plant and also helps animals and humans breathe.
Flowers
- Reproduction: Flowers help the plant reproduce by producing seeds. They attract insects (like bees) to pollinate the plant so it can make seeds and grow new plants.
