Two seeds(种子)lay side by side in the soil(土壤).

The first seed said,"I want to grow!I want to send my roots(根)deep into the soil,and stretchmy sprouts(新芽)through the earth above me. I want to feel the' warmth of the sun on my face and the beauty of 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 found that the other seed did nothing. She was curious(好奇的)and asked,"Don't you want to come out and see?"

The other seed said,"I am afraid. If I send my roots into the ground below,I don't know what I will come across in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me,I might hurt my sprouts. And if I open my flowers,a naughty(顽皮的)child might pull me out of the ground. No,it is much better for me to wait until it is safe."

The first seed didn't know what to say. The second seed sat there silently. A hen was walking nearby and looking for food. She found the second seed and ate it. Like this seed,if we do not take risks in order to grow,life may swallow(吞掉)us.
