Question

When I was in the third grade，I was picked to be the princess (公主) in the school play. For weeks my mother helped me practice my lines. But once on the stage，every word would disappear from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's (解说者的) part for the play，and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day，she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.

It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass. My mother said carelessly，“I think I am going to dig up all these weeds. From now on，we'll have only roses in this garden. ”

“But I like dandelions，” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful！”

“Yes，every flower gives pleasure in its own way，doesn't it？And that is true of people，too，” my mother said.

When I realized that she had guessed my pain，I started to cry and told her the truth.

“But you will be a beautiful narrator，” she said，reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.

Over the next few weeks，with her help，I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play，my teacher came over to me. “Your mom asked me to give this to you，” she said，handing me a dandelion. After the play，I took the flower home，laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.
