A little Rose lived alone in a room. One day, Rose heard a soft sound on her door, “Who’s there?” she asked. “I’m Raindrop. Please let me in,” cried the visitor. “No way!” Rose answered angrily. Raindrop felt very sad and left. After a while, the little Rose heard a soft rustle (沙沙声) near the door. “Who’s there now?” she asked. “I’m sunny Sunshine,” said the new visitor. “I don’t have time for sunshine,” Rose said haughtily (傲慢地).
A few weeks later, the leaves of the little Rose turned yellow in colour, and her young stem began to droop (枯萎). One day, she heard birds chirping (吱喳叫), and opened the door to look outside. It was spring and there were colourful flowers and green trees all around. Rose realized she was wrong. So when Raindrop and Sunshine visited her again, she gave them a big hug. And after a few days she had a pretty pink rose, for which she thanked Raindrop and Sunshine.

One possible version:
Why are trees important?
Trees play an important role in the daily life. People can use trees to build houses and make something else, such as tables, chairs and beds. Trees also offer food to man and animals. And there are a lot of animals living in the forest. Without trees, neither man nor animals would live on the earth. Trees can help clean the air and stop the strong wind from carrying away soil. So we should plant more trees instead of cutting them down.
