When Tim was a little boy, he liked to stay with his grandpa very much. The old man always played games with Tim and told him interesting stories.
Tim had lots of1 with him. But later, Grandpa got very ill (生病的). He knew he wouldn't live long. Before he2 , Grandpa asked Tim to come and wanted him to do the last thing for him.
Grandpa gave Tim a cherry seed (樱桃种子). He asked him to plant it in the garden and then water it when he felt3 with some things, such as eating delicious food and listening to favourite songs. Tim loved his grandpa and4 that he would do as he said.
Several years5 . One day after school, Tim was surprised when his mother gave him a letter from his grandpa. He opened it after going back to his room. It said, "Dear Timmy, did you share your happiness with your plant? I guess you did it for sure. There is something6 . Do you notice that? When you're a happy boy and water the tree well, many cute 7 will come to live on it. You can enjoy wonderful songs every day. And you can even have sweet cherries to eat in autumn.8 when you are not happy and don't visit it, it will get little water. The animals won't come here and9 won't get any cherries either. So my dear, I want you to know that happiness will bring you many good things, but sadness will10 all of them from you!"
