Mung bean sprouts and daffodils

The bulbs of daffodils slowly wake up in the beautiful deep blue shallow pool. The little green bud on the stem looked down and said, Ah, the place where I took root is not fertile soil, but a few round stones with gorgeous patterns. This makes narcissus understand that it is going to bloom this year, and the day of giving beauty to mankind has finally arrived. Therefore, Narcissus was extremely excited and excited.

Narcissus looked around happily. It was surprised to find that there were not only stones but also water in the pool. A small mung bean was placed on the oozing stone and sprouted like itself. This seems to make Narcissus more excited. It can't help but ask loudly;

"Hey, little mung bean sprouts, why did you come to me?"

"It was a child who left me here to do the experiment." Little mung bean sprouts shook their heads. "I want to see if I can grow as tall and as big as you."

"You? How can you compare with me, I ... "

Before the narcissus finished, the little mung bean sprouts became angry. It pouted and said, "Why not? My brothers and sisters can grow tall and big in the field! It can also blossom and bear fruit for people to taste. Is that okay? " Say that finish, small mung bean sprouts and shake the body, said not to show weakness.

"No," Narcissus said shyly, "I can only produce flowers as white as jade for people to appreciate."

After listening to Narcissus's words, the little mung bean sprouts gained a little more confidence and pride. It is determined to grow higher and higher soon, surpassing narcissus, so that children who are doing experiments can praise it. So, the little mung bean sprouts tried their best to absorb water and kept stretching, stretching, stretching, ... Hey, in less than two days, it really caught up with the daffodils. At this time, the little mung bean sprouts are extremely proud; It nodded and smiled happily at the daffodil. It means, "What happened? Catch up with you. I will surpass you and wait and see. "

Narcissus just slowly stretched the rough stems and buds, and then nodded to the little mung bean sprouts with a smile.

Little mung bean sprouts thought Narcissus was ashamed and had nothing to say. I printed it more proudly. However, at this time, I always feel a little depressed and overwhelmed. No matter how hard it tries, it still doesn't grow as fast as before. It thought, "it would be great if some fertilizer and nutrition could be added at this time." So, Narcissus blurted out:

"Why does our host only give water to drink and not fertilize every day?" Little mung bean sprouts want to hear narcissus sing, bitter and * * *! Unexpectedly, Narcissus said, "Don't expect your master to be fertilized."

Listening to Narcissus' confident words and watching Narcissus' casual expression, the little mung bean sprouts were angry and annoyed. It mistakenly thought that this was Narcissus taking advantage of other people's difficulties to get revenge. Little mung bean sprouts can't swallow this tone. It is determined to stick to it stubbornly and never let Narcissus see his jokes.

A few days later, the thick buds of daffodils turned into green flat leaves, much larger than mung bean sprouts. Unwilling to lag behind the daffodils, mung bean sprouts gritted their teeth and jumped up desperately. However, at this moment, no matter how hard you try, it has little effect. It finally feels that it has stopped growing.

Little mung bean sprouts are in a hurry and don't want to be defeated by narcissus. So, when the owner added a spoonful of water to the dark blue pool, it could not help but let out a cry:

"Good man, give some fertilizer quickly, don't just add water."

Narcissus smiled: "Why do you always want to fertilize?"

"Of course, how to grow without fertilizer! My family once told me that after the mung beans planted in the field germinate, people often fertilize them to provide nutrition for our growth. " Having said that, seeing narcissus' unhurried smile, I couldn't help grabbing Baishui Xiandao: "Don't you need to supplement nutrition?"

"I don't need it." Narcissus said quietly.

"When others are in danger, it is immoral to brag to show their superiority instead of sympathy. Do you understand? " Little mung bean sprouts said angrily, "If you persist like this, you can always persist for a few days!" " However, since you can stand it, I can stand it, and I believe it will not be worse than you. "Say that finish, little mung bean sprouts turned away and ignored daffodils. It struggled to stand up and took a deep breath, trying to make its waist straighter and thicker with this breath.

After a few days, the little mung bean sprouts really couldn't hold on, and they felt that they were gradually wilting. On the one hand, they are pessimistic and inferior because they can't adapt to the narcissus-like environment; On the one hand, I secretly admire the strength of narcissus, and at the same time, I wonder: Why can narcissus continue to grow and thrive without fertilization? Is this something that can only be done by being strong?

When the little mung bean sprouts were dying, they did not forget to solve the mystery, so they said weakly to the daffodils:

"Your strength makes me feel ashamed. However, I can't understand how you can grow so strong and live so chic just by drinking water and not supplementing nutrition. "

"No one can grow without nutrition. However, the nutrition I need now does not depend on external supply, but comes from here. " Narcissus patted his light bulb.

"What is this? Didn't you do it?" Little mung bean sprouts looked at it carefully for a while and asked.

"Yes, I did it. However, this stalk stores a lot of dry food that I brought myself. " Narcissus said with a smile.

"Dry food? What dry food? " Little mung bean sprouts rubbed their hungry eyes with their hands, carefully identified the bulbs of daffodils, and then said, "I don't see anything except your stems." Where is the dry food? "

"Didn't I tell you! Dry food is in this bulging stalk, and I have saved it for three years. Thanks to the flower farmers, of course. In the first year, they planted me in fertile soil, let me absorb enough nutrition, and then dug me out of the soil to dry. The nutrition of the first year was preserved. In the second year, plant me in fertile soil, let me absorb enough nutrients, dig it out, dry it, and then ... In this way, for three consecutive years, I have saved enough dry food for this year. " Speaking of which, Narcissus glanced at the poor, dying little mung bean sprout and said kindly to it, "This is the secret that I can hold on to better than you." No matter how strong I am, I must admire your strength. "

"am I strong?" Little mung bean sprouts smiled wryly.

"Of course. You are just germinated by the nutrition in a small mung bean. To keep growing, you must constantly supplement nutrition from the outside, but you can grow so high by yourself just by drinking water, even higher than me. How hard it is. So I said, you are much better than me. "

After listening to Narcissus, the little mung bean sprouts were greatly encouraged. After a short silence, they said slowly, "How did you come up with the idea of storing dry food?"

"There will always be days to remember." Narcissus said earnestly. "What? I don't know what you mean. " Little mung bean sprouts are very serious and open-minded.

"That is to say, things are changing. When we have something, we should always think that there may be nothing in the future. In this way, we will consciously save and preserve what we already have and use it when we don't have it. Our ancestors have always taught us to do this. Therefore, as long as I have a spoonful of water now, I can grow healthily and vigorously. In the near future, I will be able to rely on the stored dry food to make flowers for people to enjoy. ……"

Before the narcissus finished, the little mung bean sprouts tried their best and exclaimed, "Ah, so that's it. I really admire your foresight. "
