11. In our backyard there was a big pond with lots of trees and bushes. Both my grandparents were fond of our so-called garden.
One morning our new neighbor, an aggressively ambitious businessman, saw my grandfather 1 two rare deodar (雪松) tree saplings on both sides of our gate. 2 , he said he had planted the same tree saplings in his garden. My grandfather 3 gave his plants adequate amount of water and didn’t give them full 4 , while our neighbor interested in better 5 looked after them too well. His plants were much 6 and greener.
Normally in summer, we have fierce thunderstorms. 7 the extreme damage, these storms also bring 8 from the terribly hot climate. After a thunderstorm, we came out to 9 the damage to our garden and saw the neighbor in his garden, too, but he looked 10 as his plants had been uprooted. Ours were standing 11 on the ground. Surprised to see this, he came up to us and said with embarrassment, "My trees 12 from the roots while yours didn't. Why "
My grandfather said, "You gave your plants more attention, water and manure (肥料), 13 they didn't need to work for anything. I gave mine just some, letting their roots do the 14 ; thus their roots went deeper and became stronger." Our neighbor nodded in 15 . Hearing the words, I realized that anything easily given could be taken away much more easily and we would not understand the hard work it took to earn those things.
