"Do you want to grow your own vegetables?" Mom asked "Yes!" My eyes got wide Mom smiled at my excitement. She gave me a book on gardening, and I carefully planted some seeds(种子) in the back yard.
After supper, I rushed to see how much they might grow. Nothing! My mouth dropped "Someone stole my seeds!" Mom laughed from ear to ear. She said "Johnny, go and check the book." I hung my head down. I read the book and I knew something needed to be done
Early the next morning, I ran to the back yard. Everything looked the same but I wasn't that disappointed(失望). As the book said, I lightly watered my seeds and stuck my finger in the soil(泥土) to make sure it wasn't too dry. That evening, I couldn't help going to check my garden again. No sign of anything green. Just dirt.
The next morning I raced to the garden again No changes. "Why is it taking so long for the seeds to grow?" I asked. "Grow up!" I shouted. "Please, just grow, "I almost cried. Mom was too busy with housework to help. "Read the book, and wait patiently" So I read again. I removed(除去) the grass from the soil and watered the seeds.
Then one morning, I walked out to my garden. I wasn't expecting to see anything yet. To my surprise, a little bit of green came into my eyes. I got down on my knees for a closer look "They grew!" I shouted. I could see little green leaves growing everywhere! I was so excited "They finally grew!" The book is right. It took several days for the seeds to be in the soil before popping up.
