Adam now had to put soil on top of the seed.At first he began to pour all the soil in, but then when he double checked the assignment he relaxed he was doing the exact opposite that had been asked.
Don't drown the seed. Take a step back. He began to madly dig up the seed, half of the soil creating a small lump on the side of the pot. After, he planted the seed in correctly, covering it so nicely it looked like he had blanketed the seed an it had fallen asleep.
