Question

【題目】My husband and I changed our yard with fruit trees, such as apples, bananas and oranges.

Every crop brought us closer to and strangers. The food was an to communicate. Kids in the neighborhood (including our son) learned how to be and gentle timing. When we had extra, we would it. Then, we received a powerful lesson: a gift hidden as a loss (損失). Our first-ever crop of oranges had ripened(成熟). , at harvest, they all disappeared in the middle of the night. We were shocked, sad and angry. Friends had fun suggestions. One suggested we post a sign curse(詛咒) those who our fruits.

And suddenly, the lesson was clear. We did need a sign. But our sign would encourage sharing. Last autumn, we had a large crop of oranges. We a sign that read, “If you’d like one, please knock and yourself, and we would be to cut one off the bush for you. Cutting saves the branches and is good for future growth, so we can to share oranges with 7 friends like you. Thanks, the Green Family.”

Out of eight fruits, one orange was taken, and most others were to new friends. This year, we won the Kindness Contest award, so we planted three new fruit trees—a peach, a pear and

a plum. Before they fruit, I’ll a big sign to the yard to encourage sharing. Today, I’m happy to role model generosity(慷慨) for my young son and to have the opportunity to an eatable front yard for others.
