When my daughter was in primary school, she brought home four little trees from school to plant. None of them looked very strong, but with hope for the future, I planted them in our garden that had enough sunlight. Over the years, because of the poor earth, three of them died. Only one survived.
However, it grew very slowly. It looked more like a fat bush 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 the tree again. I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down. Maybe 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 bird patiently building a nest in the top branches. I smiled when seeing it. I thought this old tree 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 sick. 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.
