Once there lived a farmer called Henry. He had a brother, Mike, in town who was an excellent gardener. His skill and his beautiful trees were everywhere.
One day, Henry went to town to visit Mike. “Look, my brother,” said Mike, “Here is the best tree from my garden. Take it home and it so that you, and your children, and your children’s children can enjoy it.” Henry was with the apple tree and went back home. The next morning, he began to where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” he said to himself, “the wind might catch it and down the fruit; If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them; but if I plant it…”
he planted the tree in the corner behind his house, where no one else could notice it. But the tree bore（结出）no fruit the first year, nor the second. Then Henry sent for his brother and said to him , “You have cheated me. This is the third year and it brings me but leaves.”
When Mike saw where the tree was planted, he laughed and said, “You have planted the tree in such a cold corner without or warmth. How, then, could you expect flowers and fruit?”

Last year, four children waited for their school bus every day for ten minutes, on the same dirty street corner. There were old bottles, parts of old bikes, and soda cans（苏打罐） everywhere around the bus stop. The trees were brown and had no leaves, and there wasn’t any flower at all. It was ugly.
One Friday, one of the children looked at the corner and decided to do about it. The next Monday, she brought a bag and some of the old bottles to recycle. On Tuesday, she spent another ten minutes picking up old bottles, while her best friend picked up soda cans and put them in a different for recycling. On Wednesday, all the children joined together. The corner became !
The corner looked better but it was ugly. So the next day the girl brought some flower seeds（种子）. She planted the seeds and watered them, and watered the , too. She only had ten minutes a day but that was enough.

Have you ever planted a few trees on Tree Planting Day? Each year, millions of people, both , plant a lot of trees. But this may not be the best way to make your home a place.
Last week we visited a park in Hebei. We were to find most of the trees had been burned. The workers told us that the trees soon after they were planted because they weren’t watered well enough. workers burned them and cleaned the place for trees to be planted this year. a card found in one of the dead trees, a student wrote,“I hope this tree will grow up with me to the backbone (栋梁) of our country.” The workers said that the survival(存活) of the trees was really more important than trees were planted.
Some people in Beijing now have a new idea that they can donate (捐赠) some money and let professional (专业人士) plant and the trees.

One afternoon I took a trip to an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a view of the masterpieces(名作).
A young couple looking at the in front of me chatted non-stop. I watched them for a moment and realized the wife was doing all the talking. I admired(佩服)this man for being so with her. Bored by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away quickly.
I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit(出口).
" He's a brave man, " the clerk said. "Most of us would our interests if we were blind at such a young age. But behind his wife he comes in there's a new art show. "
"But he can't see. " I said in surprise.
" His wife each painting so that he can see it in his head. "
I learned about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person withoutsightand the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his . And I saw the love shared by two people as I this couple walk away holding each other's hands.
