Dandelions

Dandelions We were siting outdoors today. It was a beautiful spring day. Birds were singing. The sky was really blue. We saw our neighbour, Mr. Viner, in his front yard. What was he doing? He was digging out small, yellow flowers from his lawn. He worked all day. Mom said, " He must be very tired. He works hard to get rid of these beautiful yellow flowers. ” Dandelions are weeds. People spend a lot of time trying to get rid of them. They dig them up. They spray chemicals to kill them. Millions of dollars are spent each year getting rid of these pretty yellow flowers.

蒲公英 我们今天坐在户外。这是一个美丽的春日。鸟儿在歌唱。天空真的很蓝。我们看到我们的邻居，维纳先生，在他的前院。他在做什么? 他正在草坪上挖黄色的小花。他工作了一整天。妈妈说:“他一定很累了。他很努力地除掉这些漂亮的黄花。 ”蒲公英是杂草。人们花很多时间试图除掉它们。把它们挖出来，喷洒化学药剂来杀死它们。每年要花费数百万美元来除掉这些漂亮的黄花。

But dandelions just keep growing. They flourish every spring. Mom loves dandelions. She really doesn't understand why people do not like them. " They are pretty. They grow easily. And you can even eat the delicious green leaves, " she says. My mom says she would rather enjoy them than spend all of her time trying to get rid of them.

但是蒲公英一直在生长。每年春天它们都繁盛起来。 妈妈特别喜欢蒲公英。她真的不明白为什么人们不喜欢它们。“他们是漂亮。他们很容易种植。你甚至可以吃到美味的绿叶，”我妈妈说她宁愿享受它们也不愿花所有的时间试图除掉它们。
