A father saw his son crying. He asked him, “What’s the matter?” The young boy replied, “My rich classmates
laughed at
1 me, and called me the son of a poor gardener. They said that my father was just a worker who only
2 lived on the money from watering and growing plants for people.”Learning about that, the father was
silent
3 for a moment, and then said, “Come with me, my son. Let’s plant some flowers.” He held his son’s hand and walked into the garden. Then, he took out some seeds
4 and said, “Let’s plant two flowers separately. I use clean
5 water from the lake, and you water your flower with dirty water from the pond(池塘). We will see the results in the coming weeks
6 and at that moment you will cheer up.” The son was happy and he joined
7 his father in planting the flowers right away.It
took
8 them some days to help the flower seeds germinate(发芽). They cared for them and watched them grow. Several weeks later, they went to the garden
9. The father said, “Look at the two flowers and tell me your thoughts
10.” Then the boy said unexpectedly, “My flower looks healthier
11 than yours. But you used cleaner water. How is that even possible?” The father smiled and said, “That’s because dirty water from the pond doesn’t stop
12 a plant from growing. Instead, it serves organic fertilizer(有机肥料) to help the flower grow. Remember that there’s nothing wrong
13 with you when some people look down upon you in your life. Don’t let those bad words influence
14 you in bad ways. Let them encourage you, and then you will be like the flower and bloom(开花) even in the dirt.” The boy felt confident after
15 he heard what his father said. From then on, he wouldn’t get upset about bad words anymore.(
