The school held an activity called “making money” last weekend. About 200 Junior and Junior 2 students were divided into 30 teams. They went out to make money, by selling things.

25、A man had a garden. He planted a rose and watered it 【1】 (careful). Before the rose blossomed(盛开), he noticed many thorns(刺) around the bud(花蕾) and he thought, “H【2】 can any beautiful flower come from a plant with so many sharp thorns?” Because of this i【3】, he lost interest in this kind of plant. Then he gave up watering the rose. And just 【4】 it was ready to blossom, it died.

Good qualities are just like roses. There is a rose in everybody’s spirit. The good 【5】 (quality) planted in us at birth grow among the thorns—our weaknesses.

Then he will blossom many times.
