A king was old and he knew it was time to choose a new king. He 1 to all the young people in his country, "I will give each of you a seed（种子）. Plant it and 2 it back here next year. Show me the plants you bring, 3 I'll choose a new king from you."
A boy called Peter took his seed home. He looked after it 4. But the seed didn't grow at all. A year later, Peter had to take his 5 box to the palace. Others all took beautiful plants there and Peter felt sad.
The king got to the palace and looked around. When he found there was 6 in Peter's box, the king smiled and said to them, "One year ago, I gave everyone a seed. In fact, all the seeds 7 grow. But all of you 8 Peter, brought me beautiful plants. Peter is the 9 one with the honesty and courage to bring me such a box. So he will be the new 10!"
