A Nature Artist

A Nature Artist Michael is Dan's best friend. One day, he received a special gift from Dan's father. It was a gourd with a little animal carved on it. Why was it special? Well, Dan's father grew the gourd himself. Every spring, Dan's dad plants little seeds, planning to create some special gifts. Every day, he nurtures the soil and watches his plants carefully. The plants grow bigger and bigger. Then, little flowers appear. Gradually, the flowers change into little fruits, which grow bigger with each day. Dan's dad then turns the fruits to expose them evenly to the sun. This ensures that the colour of the fruits is uniform.

一位自然艺术家 迈克尔是丹最好的朋友。有一天，他收到了一份丹的父亲送给他的特别礼物。那是一个葫芦，上面雕刻着一只小动物。它为什么特别? 好。丹的父亲自己种了这种葫芦。 每年春天，丹的爸爸都会种下小种子，打算制作一些特别的礼物。每天，他都悉心培育土壤，仔细观察他的植物。 植物长得越来越大。然后，小花出现了。渐渐地，花朵变成了小果实。一天比一天大。 然后，丹的爸爸把水果翻过来，让它们均匀地暴露在外面。太阳。这样可以保证水果的颜色一致。

By fall, the fruits are ready to be cut from the plants. That's when Dan's dad harvests them. Using a special tool, he carves little animals on the gourds. Then, he gives these special gifts to his son and his son's best friend. Dan's father is an amazing artist—a nature artist.

到了秋天，果实就可以从植株上割下来了。那是丹的爸爸收割它们的时候。他用一种特殊的工具在葫芦上雕刻小动物。然后，他把这些特别的礼物送给他的儿子和他儿子最好的朋友。 丹的父亲是一位了不起的艺术家——一位自然艺术家。
