It be work slow move bird health breathe close（adj.） anywhere |
When my daughterin primary school，she brought home four small twigs （嫩枝） from school to plant.None of them looked very strong，but with hope for the future，I planted themin our backyard that had enough sunlight.Over the years，because of the poor soil，three of them died.Only one survived.
It grew very.It hooked more like a fat bush than a tree.Later，I noticed thatwas starting to die.The lower branches（树枝）were becoming bare.Only the top third of the tree was still，green.I did my best to save it by feeding it a lot of fertilizer（肥料），but it didn't.
Later one morning，I went out and looked at it again.I was wondering whether it would be better to just cut it down.It would make the yard look cleaner.As I walked over to take alook at it，however，I noticed somethingwithin the leaves.It was a robin （知更鸟）patiently building a nest in the topmost branches.I smiled when I heard thesong.I thought maybe this old tree was still useful.It might not be or pretty，but it was still giving a bird a home.
This tree reminded me that all of our lives have a purpose.It doesn't matter if we are young and strong or old and sickly.Until our last，we have things to do，love to give，and joy to share.We can help to make this world a better and more beautiful place.
