Question

Jimmy spent most of his time in the bedroom when he was in university. With his aunt’s help, the young man found a job in a park after his graduation. There’re all kinds of flowers in the gardens and he has to look after them. He thinks it’s easy and often stays in bed.

One morning the head of the park found some of the flowers were dead. He called Jimmy there and asked him the reason. The young man studied for a long time but couldn’t answer. Just at that moment an old gardener passed by and the head asked him for help. The old man studied it for a while and said,” A mole(鼴鼠)is eating their roots(根).”

“I don’t think it has something to do with the dead flowers,” said the young man, “People appreciate(欣賞)not the roots, but the flowers!”
