¹     Timmy the tractor couldn't wait for the rest of the snow to melt. It had been a long winter, and he had been sitting still for a long time. Sure, sometimes he helped feed the cattle bales of hay, but it wasn't the same as helping in the fields. He sat remembering the work he had done last spring.
 
²     First, the farmer had plowed the fields. As Timmy pulled the plow, it broke up the lumps of soil. The farmer guided Timmy through the field. Plowing the field was an important job. He helped get the field ready to plant. Timmy was glad to help.
 
³     After plowing it was time to plant. How Timmy loved pulling the planter! Sometimes he helped the farmer plant corn. Then the farmer put soybeans in the planter. As Timmy pulled the planter through the field, it dropped the seeds into the soil. The days were long, but Timmy didn't mind. He loved planting time.
