Watermelon

Watermelon My uncle is a farmer. He grows watermelons. Each year in June, he harvests his watermelons. Then he sells them at the farmer's market. This year, someone began selling watermelons in early May. Most people think, " The earlier, the better. " If they sell their watermelons early, surely they can make more money because people can't wait to buy their first watermelon of the season—even at a higher price.

提前采摘的西瓜 我的叔叔是农民。他种植西瓜。每年六月，他收获西瓜。然后他在农贸市场卖掉它们。 今年5月初就有人开始卖西瓜了。大多数人认为，“越早越好。”如果他们早点卖掉西瓜，肯定能赚更多的钱，因为人们迫不及待地想买这个季节的第一个西瓜——即使价格更高。

But there is a problem. Watermelons take time to grow. The fruits are juicy and sweet only when they are fully grown. Grandma saw some farmers rushing to harvest their watermelons. She told my uncle, " Don't be a fool. Think about it. If you buy a watermelon that tastes sour, will you buy it again?A farmer should always be proud of growing the best food for people. ” Of course, my uncle didn't sell his watermelons early. He sells his sweet, juicy watermelons with pride.

但有一个问题。西瓜的生长需要时间。水果只有在成熟时才多汁、甜。 奶奶看见一些农民赶着收割西瓜。她告诉我叔叔，“别傻了。想想。如果你买了一个尝起来酸的西瓜，你还会再买吗?一个农民应该永远为为种植出最好的食物而自豪。 当然，我叔叔没有早点把西瓜卖了。他骄傲地卖着甜且多汁的西瓜。
