A long time ago when America was still a very young country there was a man who everyone knew as Johnny Appleseed His hair was long and black and his eyes were blue and full of energy His real name was John Chapman but people don’t call him that anymore
When John was barely two years old his mother died and his father married another woman John began to live with his grandmother who had many apple trees in her garden Little John loved to watch the pretty flowers on the trees slowly change into delicious fruit
When John was eighteen he left his grandmother’s home He wanted to travel and see the world This is when his adventures began Many people were traveling from the East toward the West at that time in search of more land John decided to go with them He loved traveling discovering new places meeting new people and exploring new areas
But most of the travelers would soon find a clear spot and settle down John was very upset Oh no he thought I would never be able to live my whole life in one place What should I do now
