One day, a rich old businessman in a small town meets a factory worker, a coach and a fisherman. He gives them three seeds (种子) and says, "Bring me the flowers in three months. The man with the most beautiful flower can have my money!"
After three months, the factory worker brings a big red flower. The coach brings a small purple flower. But the poor fisherman brings nothing. He is very sad. "I don't know why!" he says. "I watered it every day." "You are honest (诚实)! "the businessman says. "The seeds are bad and will never sprout! The money is yours."
The fisherman (发芽) is very happy. The other two men feel ashamed (羞愧的) and sad.
