YAY the layout's changed! Thanks luan =) wahahah since i've promised u a story, i shall type it here for all to see.

It is a story about 2 seeds. Enjoy and think about it after u've read it.

The Seed That Waited

Two seeds lay side by side in the fertile spring soil.

The first seed said, "I want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me, and thrust my sprouts through the earth's crust above me. I want to unfurl my tender buds like banners to announce the arrival of spring. I want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals!"

And so she grew.

The second seed said, "I'm afraid, I don't want to grow yet. If i send my roots into the ground below, I don't know what I'll encounter in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me, I may damage my delicate sprouts. What if I let my buds open and a snal tries to eat them? And if I were to open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No, it's much better for me to wait until it is safe."

And so she waited.

(I think u guys should be able to guess the ending le ba. but anyway, i shall continue...)

Days went by, and the first seed grew up to be a young plant. Standing firm on its roots and stem, she basked in the sun, swayed to the wind and enjoyed the cooling raindrops that fell on her face when it rains.

The second seed, buried in the moist and dark soil, hopes to be like the first seed. It's time to grow, she said to herself. It's safe now.

Just then, a hen scratching around the ground for food found her and promptly ate it.
