My friend Richard went far to work, so he asked me to take care of the courtyard in the mountains. He worked hard and often kept the courtyard 1 without any weed. But I was so lazy, just 2 swept the fallen leaves, that I never pluck（拔） grass, allowing it to grow rapidly. In the early 3 , in March, they sprouted several clusters of buds（长出几簇嫩芽）, whose leaves were green and soft. A month later, when the leaves 4 richly, I discovered they were like wild orchids in the woods.
As the summer came and passed, the grass really 5 . They shaped like those forest orchids, 6 they were yellow, unlike those forest orchids, whose flowers were purple or brown red. I picked one flower, then went to find a friend who studied 7 . On seeing it, my friend immediately asked me 8 I picked it. "You get rich!" He 9 explained. "This is a strain of rare orchid which is hard to find. Now this orchid is worth at least 10,000 dollars each. "
I told the good news to Richard. He was 10 . After a while, he said gently, the orchid broke through the earth every year and thought it was 11 weed, so he often uprooted it when it just sprouted. He couldn't stop sighing （叹气）, "I have 12 killed a kind of rare flower; if I could wait for it to flower with 13 , it would have been discovered a few years before. "
Yes, who will never 14 some rare orchids in their own lives? We always pluck those wild weeds that haven't yet bloomed in time and don't give them the time to flower and bear fruit to prove their value.
Give each grass the time to flower and give everybody a 15 to prove his value. Don't blindly pull out a blade of grass or negate （否定） a person curtly and how many "rare orchids" we will get in our lives!
