A long time ago，there was a seed.Because he was only a seed，nobody saw him.So，the seed thought he was not important in the world.
   One day，a wind （風） picked up the seed and threw （扔） him in an open place under the sun.Later，he enjoyed the rain and the sun.They helped him grow.
   Years later，he saw a traveler （旅行者） sitting near him. "Thank goodness for this.I can have a rest （休息） under a tree on such a hot day，" the traveler said.
   "What are you talking about？" the seed asked.He thought the man was making fun of him.No one spoke to him like that. "Who just spoke？" the man asked in surprise （驚奇）.
   "It is me.A seed."
   "A seed？" The man looked at the big tree. "Are you joking （開玩笑）？You are not a seed.You are a big tree."
   "Really？"
   "Yes!Why do you think people come here？"
   "What do they come here for？"
   "People often sit here to enjoy your shade!It's cool to sit in it on such a hot day.Don't tell me you didn't know that."
   The traveler's words made him happy.The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life.With the help of the sun and the rain，finally he grew up.
   Oh!That means I'm not a little seed any more!I can help people around me.Wow!That's great!
