A man called Randy was told of a very tall tree on Vancouver Island, Canada. The tree was said to be 314 feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger. Loggers wanted to cut down Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it. Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree. The tree was so big and beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted to save that forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park.
Canada’s tallest tree is still there. (from BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English – Reader 1 by Shantel Ivits)

The tomato is from South America. When the tomato came to Europe, people　did not eat it. Doctors said it would make them sick. So people just grew tomatoes because they looked nice.
Now people from all over the world eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are used in sauce, soup, juice, salsa, and ketchup. The tomato is very good for you. Only a tomato leaf or stem will make you sick.People do odd things with tomatoes. People grow tomatoes in space. There is a big tomato fight every year in Spain. A long time ago, people would toss a bad tomato when they saw a show they did not like.  (from BC Reads: Adult Literacy Fundamental English – Reader 1 by Shantel Ivits)
