John and Bobby worked in the same company. Both of them worked very hard. However, several years later, Mr. Ted, the boss of the company, asked Bobby to be market manager. John could not accept the fact. He thought the boss only liked those who flattered(奉承) him. So he decided not to work there.

The boss knew John well and asked John to do one thing before he left. He asked John to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. Soon John returned and said that he found a man selling watermelon. The boss asked him how much the watermelon was. John shook his head.

The boss asked John to wait a moment. Then he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to do the same thing. When Bobby returned, he told the boss that only one person was selling watermelon. It was $1.2 a kilo and $10 for 10 kilos. Each watermelon weighed about 2 kilos. All came from the South two days ago.

In a small village there was a postman. When he was 20 years old, he started sending all kinds of happy or sad stories to the villagers’ homes 50 kilometers away day after day. Twenty years flew by, and many changes took place, but there were still no trees along the road, only flying dust.

“How long shall I go along this dusty road?”

As soon as he thought he has to spend his life riding the bike on the road with no flowers or trees, he felt very sad.

One day when he finished sending the letters and was ready to return, he passed by a flower shop. “Right, that’s it!” He walked into the shop, bought some wild flower seeds(种子), and the next day he began to drop these seeds along the road. After one day, two days, one month, two months… he always kept dropping the wild flower seeds.

After long, a lot of little flowers came out along the road, blooming(开花)in all seasons. For the villagers, the flowers and the sweet smell were more pleasant than any letters the postman sent in all his life.

On the road without dust but full of flowers, the postman rode his bike happily. He never felt lonely or anxious any more.
