When I was 14, I left school. I was on the way to California to follow my dream.
When I reached downtown El Paso, I met a bum on the street corner. He stopped me and asked me if I was running away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir,” because my father had given me a ride to the train station and said, “It is important to follow your dream, son.”
After talking for a few minutes, the friendly bum told me to follow him. He took me to a public library.
The bum first took me to a table and asked me to sit down and wait for a moment. A few moments later, he returned with some old books and sat beside me. Then he said, “There are two things that I want to teach you, young man, and they are these: Number one is to never judge a book by its cover, for a cover can fool you.” He continued, “You think I’m a bum, don’t you, young man?” I said, “Well, uh, yes, sir.” “Well, young man, I’ve got a little surprise for you. I am one of the richest men in the world. But I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life. So for the past year, I have been going from city to city living as a bum. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover.”
“Number two is to learn how to read, my boy. There is only one thing that people can't take away from you, and that is your wisdom.” At that moment, he showed me the old books.
The bum then took me back to the street where we first met. He asked me never to forget what he taught me when we left each other.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.
If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants.
Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit.
Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores(胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.
