A
I bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom (开花) and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

Deep down in the sea,Oliver, a little octopus (章鱼) sat on the floor covered with sand,bored and upset. He watched pretty fish swimming in and out of rocks,which were laughing and dancing in the sea. “Why am I so different?” he said to himself sadly.
“You are an octopus,Oliver. That’s special. ” The sweet voice of Cherub, a beautiful purple angelfish (神仙鱼),always made Oliver feel better. Oliver looked up at the purple angelfish and smiled. Cherub suggested,“Let’s play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏). ” They were having so much fun that they didn’t realize they had swum far from home. Suddenly,Cherub saw a large shark(鲨鱼)swimming above them. “It was Big White. . . the biggest,scariest shark in the sea,” she shouted to Oliver. Cherub looked at Big White hopelessly. She was too frightened to swim. Just at this moment, Big White rushed down toward them. An idea came to Oliver. He quickly sprayed (喷射) a very dark cloud of black water to the shark’s eyes. Then Oliver and Cherub escaped and got home safely.
“Are you OK?” asked Oliver. Cherub laughed happily,“That was the most interesting trip ever! You saved me just now,Oliver.
