There was a very beautiful seedling (幼苗) . An old, dry and straight stick stood with it. The seedling was tired of the stick.
“ Stick, ” said the seedling, “ Can’t you stay away from me? ” The stick did not answer.
There was also a fence (篱笆) around the seedling. The seedling was tired of it, too. And it said to the fence, “ Can’t you go somewhere else? ” The fence also remained silent.
Several days later, the seedling told the stick and the fence to leave again. Both of them still kept silent. The seedling said this again and again! Finally, the stick and the fence left the seedling. The seedling thought no one was more beautiful than itself. Suddenly, a light wind came and blew it down. The seedling couldn’t stand and cried out, “ Help! Help! ” No one offered it help.
A little ant passed by. It looked at the seedling, said, “ Beautiful plant, don’t you know that you can stand up because the stick and the fence protect you from being hurt by the wind? They helped you, but you didn’t thank them. ” And then the seedling understood how important they were. The seedling realized that it should value those who helped and supported it.
