One boy named Ling received a seed like the others.He went home and planted the seed in a pot,watering it carefully.Every day he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.After about three weeks,some of the other youths began to talk about their plants that were beginning to grow.Ling kept checking his seed,but nothing ever grew.
A year finally went by and all the youths brought their plants to the emperor.Ling thought he should be honest about what had happened.So he took his empty pot to the palace.When Ling arrived,he was amazed at the plants grown by other youths.They were beautiful,in all shapes and sizes.
When the emperor arrived,he surveyed the room and greeted the young people.Ling just tried to hide in the back.Suddenly,the emperor spotted Ling at the back of the room with his empty pot.He ordered his guards to bring him to the front.Ling was terrified.When Ling got to the front,the Emperor asked his name."My name is Ling,"he replied.All the kids were laughing and making fun of him.The emperor asked everyone to quiet down.He looked at Ling,and then announced to the crowd,"Behold your new emperor!His name is Ling!"Then the emperor said,"One year ago today,I gave you all boiled seeds which would not grow.

分析 文章大意:本文讲的是一位国王八十多岁了,他想选一位接班人,但是不会从他的孩子中间选择,而是在王国国内的年轻人中间去选.一天他召集了王国内的所有年轻人,然后给了他们一些特殊的种子让他们回家种,等到一年后带着自己种出的东西回来,他会从中选出国王的接班人.于是年轻人都回到家开始种种子,三个星期后,其他年轻人开始谈论自己种出的东西,可是一位叫Ling的年轻人的种子却怎么也不生长,转眼一年过去了,其他年轻人都带回来了自己种的东西,而Ling很诚实,只带回来了一个空罐子,其他年轻人都嘲笑他,但是国王最后却说种子都是煮过的,不可能发芽,生长,只有Ling才是诚实的,因此选了Ling作为国王的接班人.
