My friend David went far to work, so he asked me to take care of his yard in the mountains. He worked hard and always kept the yard clean without any grass.
But I was too lazy to sweep the fallen leaves, and I never plucked grass（拔草）, allowing it to grow rapidly and freely.
In the early spring, in March, the leaves were green and soft. A month later, when the leaves spread quickly, I discovered they were like wild orchids (兰花）in the forest.
As the summer came, the "grass" really flowered. The flowers looked like those forest orchids, but they were yellow, unlike those purple or red forest orchids. I picked one flower, then went to find a friend who studied plants. As soon as my friend saw it, he asked me where I picked it.
"It's amazing!" He excitedly explained," This kind of orchid is hard to find. Now it is worth at least 10,000 dollars each."
I told the good news to David. He was surprised. After a while he said gently that he saw the orchid in the yard every year, but he thought it was common grass, so he always plucked it.
He said," If I could wait it would flower a few years before."
Yes, all of us might miss some rare(稀有的）orchids in our own lives. We don't give them the time to flower to show their value.
Give the "grass" time to flower and give everybody a chance to show his or her value. Don't pluck a leave of any "grass" or negate(否定）a person easily and how many "rare orchids" we will get in our lives!
