Planting happiness

Last year, I bought a flower pot. But I didn’ t use it. Last week, I went to buy some flower seeds (种 子）. I planted the seeds in the flower pot.

1.      But    I    went on watering the seeds. On

the tenth day， I saw green sprouts (嫩芽). I was so excited. I knew that I could make something grow!

2.      Our    lives    are    sometimes    like the

empty pots. Our days are filled with lots of different things. However, we usually don’t do a lot of things just because they are of little importance. We feel

that something is missing. 3.      The things

that we may be missing in life are seeds of hope, love and dreams.

I planted many different flower seeds that day, because I know that the things produced are exactly what I have planted. This is the same as planting

things in life. 4.      If    I plant negative

thoughts inside my heart, I will only become sadder and sadder with each passing day. If I plant seeds of hope, 5 .
