    Do you know how blueberries grow? They grow on bushes. Each blueberry is small and round. Many

    blueberries can grow on one bush. At first the blueberries are green. The green berries are not ready to

    eat yet. They need a lot of sun and rain to help then become fat and sweet. When the berries turn blue,

    they are ripe and ready to be picked.

    the blueberries. Each one takes a pail out to the field and fills it with blueberries. They work fast so that

    they can fill many pails. They want to earn as much money as they can. When they are done picking theirfingers are blue from the juice of the berries!

    take them home to eat. Some people like to wash the berries and eat them one by one. Other people like
