My son came home from school in August with a plan. It was a plan his class made. They were going to turn a vacant lot (闲置地皮) into a garden. I said it would be a lot more work than he knew.
He had a dream. He wanted to have a lot of flowers in Lawndale. He said, “If we turn the vacant lot across fromm the school into a garden, it will show everyone how much we care. And then more people will plant flowers and trees, so the community will get to be a really beautiful place.”
I admired my son’s idea. He has always been a thoughful child. I said we would help.
He class started by clearing out the trash (垃圾) from the lot. They needed lots of trash bags for that because they didn’t just clear the lot. They cleaned the trash from the street, too. People came by and saw the difference they made. I noticed after that people were not littering so much. It seems they got the idea that keeping things clean is not as hard as picking up all the trash if you litter a lot.
Then they put bulbs (鳞茎植物) in the ground. I think they planted about 500 bulbs. I helped, and I think I planted about 30 bulbs myself. This spring we’ll see them flower. I think that everyone in the community will be inspired (鼓舞).
A long time ago, someone said, “It takes a village to raise a child.” I think it takes a child to inspire a community. I am proud of my son. [ ]61 . The reading is about __________.
