One day, a rich old businessman in a small town meets a driver, 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 driver 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 (诚实的)!" the businessman says. "The seeds are bad and will never (永不) sprout! The money is yours.”
The fisherman is very happy. The other two men feel ashamed and sad.
