There is a big tree on the side of the road. It has been standing there for many years, and the bark is gradually falling off. A small tree was recently planted next to it.
One day, the little tree raised its little head, stood on tiptoes and looked at the top of the big tree, stuck out its tongue, and thought mischievously: "Ah ha, grandpa is so tall. Will I grow taller? Oh, no, no, any taller will really be gigantism. When the big tree saw it, he smiled kindly and said, "Haha, little girl, what are you thinking about?" Although the little tree is naughty, she is also like other children, full of curiosity about the world and the desire for knowledge. , so she politely asked the big tree: "Grandpa, why are you so tall?" The big tree smiled again: "My child, this is how I try my best to absorb nutrients from the earth, through the nourishment of the sun, rain and dew." The result of hard work!” The little tree blinked its leaves and asked impatiently: “What are the benefits of growing so tall?” ”“Son, of course there are benefits. The big tree patiently replied: "Our tree has grown taller and wider, and its canopy has become wider. It can provide shade for people, purify the air, beautify the city, and provide wood for people to build houses and furniture." , and..."Are we born to do things for others?" Before the big tree finished speaking, the small tree asked anxiously. "Yes, because only by paying for others can our hearts be sweeter." If someone only thinks about his own interests and never makes any contribution to others, then his life is worthless. ”The big tree said.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. A few years later, the little tree grew into a graceful "big girl". She kept her grandfathers words in mind when she was a child. One day, the little tree happily said to the big tree: "Grandpa, grandpa! Good news! I heard that humans are going to choose some of us to go to the desert and plant windbreaks. I finally have the opportunity to serve people! Grandpa, you You must be willing to go, right!" "Huh?!" Dashu frowned and said, "You go by yourselfCome on, kid. Grandpa is old and doesn’t need to worry about it. The little tree quickly said: "You are so strong! Why don't you have confidence in yourself, grandpa!" The little tree said to the big tree in a semi-funny way, hoping that he could go to the desert and make contributions. “If I don’t go, I won’t go. Children, what are you minding?" The tree became a little impatient, and the kindness of the past suddenly disappeared. "Grandpa, you yourself said that you should contribute more to others, and you can't just care about your own interests! Why, you won't take such a great opportunity?!" Xiaoshu still eagerly hopes that there will be more people who contribute to the people. Unexpectedly, the big tree refused to eat soft and hard: "Child, think about it carefully. There is not a drop of water in that big desert. It is exposed to wind and sun all day long, and there are also storms. What if..." "We We go there just to prevent the storm from harming the lives and property of the people there!” “The climate there is not as good as here. There are gardeners here to prune the branches and leaves for us, water and fertilize us, but what about that?... Oh, I see. "Child, don't go either, its too dangerous..." Dashu said this to cover up his greed for pleasure and fear of hardship and fatigue. Unexpectedly, Xiaoshu said firmly: "I will definitely go, and I will never regret it!" As she said that, her eyes shone with hope, and she seemed to see her and other people in the endless desert. The brothers and sisters in the windbreak forest join hands and shoulder to shoulder, united to fight against the crazy dust demon, desperately protecting the lives and property of the people there. Finally, they won, and the sand demon ran away without his life. They laughed, and they all laughed happily... When the little tree came back to her senses from her longing, she was about to persuade the big tree a few more words, but people drove up in trucks, with big and small people sitting on them. There are many small trees, this is the big truck that transports them to the desert! The small tree excitedly greeted the brothers and sisters in the car. People came to pick up the small tree with its roots and soil, and the small tree had to say to the big tree in a hurry. Say "goodbye", sit in the truck, and rush to the desert with our brothers and sisters... We must do what we say. You can’t be a dishonest person!
