There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a big tree saw a red rose（玫瑰）nearby and said, “ What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”

The rose proudly（骄傲地）said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in the forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus（仙人掌）and said, “Look at that ugly（丑的）plant full of thorns（刺）!”

“What a proud flower!” thought the tree.

As the days passed, the red rose often looked at cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. I’m sorry to be his neighbour（邻居）!” The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “Everything has its use.”

Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt（枯萎）.

One day the rose saw birds put their beaks（喙）into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the big tree what the birds were doing. The big tree said that the birds were getting water from the cactus. “The cactus has water?” asked the rose. “Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”

The rose felt too ashamed（惭愧） to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it asked for help. The cactus was friendly to agree.

The rose learned a lesson that we should never judged anyone by their looking again.

Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And thay can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytrap(捕蝇草).

Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly， so the fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly and slowly eats it.

Why do plants do that? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn't have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let's hope that bigger plants don't get the same idea!
