There is a little weed (野草) that grows in a field. All around it stand tall, beautiful flowers. The weed didn't like them, for its own flowers were tiny (微小的) and common.
Children like to play in the field all year round, but spring is their favorite because they can pick beautiful flowers! They come and go, singing and laughing.
One day, two sisters came to pick flowers for their grandma. They picked many and soon almost all the flowers were gone.
"What about that one?" one said, pointing at the weed.
"Forget it!" said the other. "That's just a worthless weed!"
It made the weed feel sad. "Am I really worthless?" It asked itself. "Why was I even put on this earth?" With all the nearby flowers gone, the little weed felt lonely. Even though it didn't like them, it liked having them around.
The winds of autumn blew over the field, and they were soon followed by the snow of winter. The little weed stood alone in the wild.
Just then, it noticed some birds flying high above the field.
"We are hungry!" they said "Where can we find food?"
The weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them. "Down here! I have tasty seeds (种子) that you can eat!" The weed scattered (撒播) its little brown seeds across the snow. The birds ate the seeds and thanked the weed politely. "You are so kind!" they said as they flew away.
This made the little weed very happy. It was glad to help its new friends!
From then on, the birds have often come to visit the little weed. "I have found out what I am good for!" the weed said. "Next year, I will make more seeds so that I can feed all those hungry birds!"
