Every root grows into a home
When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four small twigs (嫩枝) from school to plant. None of them looked very hardy, but with hope for the future, I planted them somewhere in our backyard that had enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor soil (土壤), three of them died. Only one survived.
It grew crooked (弯弯曲曲的) and very slowly. It looked more like a fat bush (灌木丛) than a tree. Later, I noticed that it was starting to die. The lower branches were becoming bare. Only the top third of the tree was still green. I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer (肥料), but it didn’t work.
Later one morning, I went out and looked at it again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. It would make the yard look cleaner. As I walked over to take a closer look at it, however, I noticed something moving within the leaves. It was a robin (知更鸟) patiently building a nest in the topmost branches. I smiled when I looked at it. I thought maybe this old tree was still useful. It might not be healthy or pretty, but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree reminded me that all of our lives have a purpose. It doesn’t matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly. Until our last breath, we have things to do, love to give, and joy to share. We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
