①My friend Jake went on business for months, so he asked me to take care of the yard in the mountains. My friend worked hard, so he often kept the yard clean without any weed(杂草). And I was so lazy that I allowed weeds to grow secretly. In the early spring, by the stone bench appeared several clusters of buds, whose leaves were soft and green. A month later, when the leaves spread out richly, I discovered they were like wild orchids (兰花) in the forest.
②In the later summer, the grass produced flowers. They shaped like other forest orchids, but they were wax yellow, unlike those forest wild orchids, whose flowers were purple or brown red.1picked one flower, then came down the mountains to find Ted, a friend who knew plants well. As soon as Ted saw it, he immediately asked me where I picked it. "You are gonna be rich!" He excitedly explained," This is a rare orchid, which is hard to find. Now this orchid is worth at least $10,000each. "
③l told the good news to Jake. He was completely shocked. After a while, he said gently the orchid broke through the earth every year, but he thought it was just a weed, so he often pulled it out and threw it away. My friend couldn't help saying sadly, "Il have almost destroyed(摧毁) a kind of rare flower. If I could wait for it to flower with patience, it would have been discovered a few years before."
④Yes, who will never miss some rare orchids in their own lives? We always pay no attention to those wild weeds that haven't yet flowered in time and don't give them the time to flower and produce fruit to show their value.
⑤Give each grass the time to flower and give everyone a chance to show their value. Don't blindly pull out a blade of grass or think lowly of a person and how many" "rare orchids" we will get in our lives.
