For years I wanted a flower garden.I'd spend hours different things I could plant.I believe they would look nice together.

But then we had Mattew.And Marvin.And the twins,.Alisa and Alan.And then Helen.Five children! I was too raising them to grow a garden.

Money was tight (拮据),as well as time.Often when my children were little,one of them would want something expensive.And I'd have to say,“Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn’t on trees,you know.”

,all five got through high school and college (大学) and were off on their own.I started thinking again about having a garden.Then,one morning on Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen.Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a tree,planted right in my garden.I thought it be a weeping willow (垂柳),because I saw things around on all its branches (树枝).Then I put my on and I couldn’t believe what I saw.There was a money tree in my garden!

I went outside to have a look.It was. ! There were dollar bills all over that tree.

There was also a note in the tree.It ,“We all love you,Morn.”

No one call change the weather.Nobody can control the weather.But if we read correctly the signs around us,we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be.This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.

For many centuries and in all countries,people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting.Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain.Many people feel in their bones the coming of wet weather, their joints hurt.Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming,but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way.If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sigh that the weather will become clear and fine.Such rainbows come in the evening.If the stars twinkle clearly at night,then fine weather will continue.If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm.If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine.If a rainbow appears in the morning,rainy weather will probably come.Most of the above saying have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting。
