Nothing lived on the naked soil. Not as yet. But slowly, through the years, the island became cover with green plants. And slowly, animals began to move over its beaches and hills. How did they get there? This story will be about a tropical island surrounded by warm Seas. But the way the plants and animals come to this little bit of earth in the sea is the story of how plants and animals have spread from one island to another all over the world. Around the island the wind roared, the ocean crashed, and the birds flapped their wings. The wind, the sea and the birds were at work bringing life to the new island. From the land nearest the new island, the wind picked up seeds light as dust, seeds with delicate airy parachutes or silky hairs that kept them driftly through the air.

But the wind was also loaded with invisible clouds of living things too tiny to see. Millions of the world's smallest plants--the bacteria--floated in the air. Some of these fell on the island and multiplied. Countless dust like cells called spores was carried by the wind. These too fell on the island and sprouted, like seeds. Some grew into algae-the simplest plants made up of single cells or thin sheets of cells, others grew into molds. Some were the spores of ferns. 1.
