Ding： Whats up？ Its time to go to the field.

Dings wife： The seedlings are still at home. What will you plant？

Ding： Im sorry. I am too careless to forget the seedlings.

（Ding plants all the seedlings in the center of the field.）

Seedling A： It is warm here.

Seedling B： I agree with you. Fresh air and soft soil.

Seedling C： Better than before.

All seedlings： Yes.

Seedling D： Hey， guys. Do you know how long we will be here？

Seedling A： When fall is coming， we will say goodbye.

Seedling E： From spring to fall. People have to weed and fertilize us. Then we will keep healthy.

Seedling B： That is right.

Seedling C： I got it.

Seedling A： Its getting late. Time to go to bed.

All seedlings： Good night.

（The night is coming. All seedlings have good dreams until the sun is rising. Rooster is croaking and all seedlings wake up.）

Ding Xiaobao： No， thanks.

（Ding hurries to check if the seedlings have grown up or not.）

Ding： Why？ How can you grow up so slowly？ You all look the same as yesterday. Tell me why.

（Ding smokes and wants to have a check tomorrow.）

Seedling C： Ding smokes all day.

Seedling A： Yes. He looks so sad today.

Seedling D： Yes. Do you know why？

Seedling A： He thinks we grow too slowly.

Seedling D： He is too stupid. Whatever， its time to go to bed.

Ding Xiaobao：  Dad， you look so sad. What happened？

Ding： Nothing. I am okay. I have a good idea now.

（The sun is rising again. Ding wakes up early. After breakfast， he walks to the field quickly. He is really happy for the idea. He goes to the seedlings and pulls them up.）

Seedling C： Hey， guys. I can not take a breath. What about you？

Seedling A： Me too. Help！ Help！

Seedling D： I am thirsty.

Seedling B： I am dying. Who can help us？

eedling E： Ding is too stupid. He doesnt understand the nature.

Frogs： What happened？ You are so weak. Come on！ Dont sleep.

Ding： It is a good day， isnt it？ I had a sweet dream. Oh， no！ It is not a dream. I think they all grow up. I can have a rest today.

Ding Xiaobao： Dad， you look so happy.

Ding： Can you help me to check the seedlings？

Ding Xiaobao： No problem.

Ding Xiaobao： Dad， Dad！
