A
When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess in the school play. For weeks my mother helped me practice my lines. But when on stage, every word went away from my head. My teacher asked me to change the role and be the narrator. Although I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she felt my unhappiness. She asked me to take a walk in the yard.. It was a lovely spring day, We could see dandelions(蒲公英) popping up through the grass, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers. “I think I am going to pick all these weeds,” she said. “But I like dandelions,” I said. “All plants are beautiful---even dandelions!”My mother looked at me seriously, “Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn’t it?” she said, I nodded. “And that is true with people, too,” she added. She had guessed my pain. I started to cry and told her the truth. “You’ll be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said and handed me a dandelion. After the play, I took the flower home. I was perhaps the only person who would have kept such a weed.
