It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping (炸开) 4 the grass in bunches (束). I watched my mother bend down by one of the bunches. “Ithink I’ll dig up (挖光) all these weeds(野草),” she said. “From now on,we’ll 5 have roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested(抗议). “All flowersare 6 —even dandelions !”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure inits own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is 7 ofpeople, too,” she added.
When I 8 that she had guessed my pain, I startedto cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” shesaid, 9 me of how much I loved to read stories’aloud.
