"Evetyone else would have frees and tall plants," he thought. He felt like a failure. However, he just kept waiting for his seed to grow. The day came and all the youths of the kingdom brought their plants to the palace. Ling Wu was reluctant to go with his ernpty pot. But his mother encouraged him to go and be honest
about what had happened. So, he went. When the ernperor arived, he saw the young people who brought beautiful plants, in all shapes and sizes. Then, the emperor spotted Ling Wu with his empty pot and asked him his name. Suddenly, he announced, "Behold your new ernperor! His name is Ling Wu!" Ling Wu was dumbfounded. How could this be? Then, the ernperor said, "l gave everyone a boiled seed to plant a year ago. A1l of you, except Ling Wq have brought me fees, plants and flowers.

Life's Brief candle

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That shuts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more, it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing
