One day, a businessman in a small village meets a cook, a postman and a worker. He gives them three seeds (种子) and says, "When you go home and plant the seeds, bring (带来) the flowers to me in three months. The one who has the most beautiful flowers will have my money (钱)!"
After three months, the cook brings a big red flower. The postman brings a small blue flower. But the worker brings nothing. He is very sad.
"I don't know why!" he says. "I watered it every day."
"You are honest!" the businessman says.
"The seeds are bad and they won't sprout (发芽)! The money is yours."
The worker is very happy. The other two men are ashamed and sad.
