Two seeds (种子) lay side by side in the soil.
The first seed said，“I want to g 1 ! I want to send my roots deep into the soil and stretch (伸展) my sprouts (芽) through the soil above me. I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the fresh dew (露水) on my flowers in the morning! I will make friends with other plants，and we can grow together.”
So she grew. However，she saw that the other seed did n 2 . She was curious and asked，“Don't you want to come out and see?”
The other seed said，“I am a 3 . If I send my roots into the ground below，I don't know what will happen in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil，I might h 4 my sprouts. And if I begin to bloom (开花)，a naughty child might pull me out of the ground. No，it's so dangerous. It is much better for me to wait.”
The first seed didn't know what to say. The second seed still sat there silently. A hen was walking nearby and looking for food. She found the s 5 seed and ate it.
Like this seed，if we do not take risks to grow，life may swallow us.
