Lettuce and leek

Lettuce and leek grow in the vegetable garden.

Lettuce saw that she was tall and strong, but the leek was thin and small, so she looked at the leek beside her contemptuously and said, "You are a vegetable, and I am also a vegetable." Why is the difference between us so big? " Look, it's also fertilizing, watering and catching insects. You see how tall and strong I am, but you are so short and slim. Don't feel inferior? "

Facing the ridicule of lettuce, leek looked up and said, "I don't feel inferior at all!" " Yes, you are taller and stronger than me, but that doesn't mean you are stronger than me. My vitality is much stronger than you! "

Lettuce said unconvinced, "What a joke! Don't look at my tall and strong body, just look at a leaf on my body, it is as wide as you. In terms of vitality, am I not as good as you? "

Leek didn't want to argue with lettuce any more, only said, "Then we'll ride a donkey and read a song book-we'll see!" " "

A month later, the farmer came to the garden and harvested lettuce and leeks.

Lettuce and leek only have roots buried in the soil.

Lettuce gloated over leek: "Didn't you say that your vitality is stronger than mine?" How can I be chopped by a farmer like me now without even a leaf left? "

Leek said confidently, "Now we are the same, but please look again in a few days!" " "

After a rain, leeks soon grew green leaves again, and after half a month, they were lush. When the leek swayed happily against the wind, the lettuce on one side was silent, and its roots had begun to rot.

After reading this story, I learned that everyone has his own bright spot. Don't be complacent just because you are better than others in one respect. Maybe others have something more worth learning. Don't be a self-deprecating person. Modesty is a good virtue, which is worth learning by every child.
