A long time ago, there was a seed and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him.Thus, feeling inferior (低等的), the seed gave no importance to his existence (存在).

Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun.Later, he was given rain.

Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side.“Thank God for this.I really need some rest,” he heard the traveler say.

“What do they come here for?”
