• 9．One evening，a workman was exhaustedly making his way home after work.When he stopped to rest by the side of the road，a woman came by，pushing a cart full of flowers.The smell of her blossoms filled the air with sweetness，and it seemed to take away the tiredness in his bones and lift his spirits.He had never experienced such wonder from the many blooms of his own garden. "How much must I pay，or what must I do，to have some of your wonderful flowers？" he asked the woman.
      "Oh，sir，" she said， "take what you wish for."
      "What return must I make for them？" he asked again.
      "Your gratitude is enough，" she said， "and it's a pleasure to share the beauty of flowers with you."
      So the man filled his arms with blossoms and hurried joyfully home.His wife and his children were also glad about the remarkable flowers.They also discovered that the sight of them was a delight and the smell of them refreshed the soul.
      In order not to lose his valuable possession，the man planted the blossoms in a small plot of land behind his house.Sunlight and water kept them amazingly beautiful—they still performed their fantastic magic.
      Every day，his children took delight in playing in the yard and always sang and danced around the flowers.They all liked the lovely gift their father had received and even invited many of their friends to share this fantastic magic together.When children came to play near the flowers，the man over and over warned them against carelessness and wild play for fear that they would walk on the flowers and damage them.But the flowers remained strong as long as there was enough sun and water to nourish（滋養(yǎng)） them.Nowhere else could the man or his wife or children find such remarkable relaxation from tiredness，such comfort in sadness，such spiritual nourishment as those remarkable flowers provided.
      With the news spreading and more people coming to appreciate his treasure，the man became even more concerned about his remarkable flowers.
      注意：續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
      Paragraph 1 ：
      He was determined to protect the flowers.
       ______
      Paragraph 2 ：
      However，the flowers seemed to fade day by day，so the man went everywhere for help.
