A farm‑boy sets out to sell vegetables at the market, but his cart breaks down. A quirky frog and mole trade him a mysterious seed for the produce. The seed sprouts into a tiny world, which the boy nurtures as it develops an atmosphere, weather and life. Later, in the city he meets the stranger who sold the seed, and together they release the growing micro‑planet into a cluster of similar worlds, where it will continue expanding toward a true planet.
