Chapter 30: The Philosophy of White Chrysanthemums
Finally, it was time to display the yellow chrysanthemums, and Huixin asked everyone to put the chrysanthemums they cultivated on the booth for everyone to enjoy and evaluate. At the beginning, everyone set their eyes on the chrysanthemums of thieves and ambitions, because only the chrysanthemums of the two of them were yellow on the booth, not only that, but their chrysanthemums were also very beautiful, and everyone was amazed by this, and the ambition did not feel inferior because of this, because they had done their best, and their chrysanthemums did not grow bad, but the flowers were white.
At this time, Hui Xin came over, carrying a watering device in his hand, and Ambition wanted to ask him about the color of the flowers, why some of the same seeds bloomed all yellow, and some flowers bloomed all white. And Huixin had already seen their doubts, and before Ambition could ask, he spoke first: "Don't rush to conclusions, let me test it first." After saying that, Huixin poured a little water on each pot of flowers, at first, there was no change, but slowly, I saw a white chrysanthemum appear in the chrysanthemum of ambition, and everyone felt very strange about this: "How can this be?" ”
"Let ambition explain it himself." Huixin said.
"I'm so sorry, I deceived everyone, in fact, my chrysanthemum is white, but I don't want to admit defeat so I use yellow paint to dye the chrysanthemum yellow." Ambition is ashamed.
Everyone just woke up, so that's it. With a ruthless mind, he ran to the chrysanthemum of the thief's heart and picked a flower, rubbed and kneaded, rubbed and rubbed, but did not see it fade, and then soaked it in water, and it did not fade. Seeing that he had no tricks, the thief emboldened himself and said, "My flowers are like fakes, not like ambitions." ”
Everyone turned their attention to Huixin again, only to hear Huixin say unhurriedly: "If I give you yellow chrysanthemum seeds, then what color do you think it will bloom?" ”
"Yellow." Everyone said together.
"If I gave you white chrysanthemum seeds, what color do you think it will produce?"
"White." Everyone said in unison.
"Yes, absolutely. Here, I have to explain and explain that the flower seeds I gave you before are from white chrysanthemums. As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Yes, do you know why I say boiled chrysanthemum seeds? Huixin asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
"This is a trap I have set to test everyone's determination and honesty. According to your conventional thinking, you will think that the boiled flower seeds should not survive, so it is natural for you to think that they cannot be planted alive. Thoughts determine actions, and once the thoughts are wrong, then the actions are meaningless. As for the color, I won't say much more, I think everyone already knows what is going on. Then, after another pause, he asked, "Here, I would like to ask the thief heart, where did your yellow chrysanthemum come from?" You probably grew it yourself. ”
"Well...... I know I can't hide it from you, sir, I borrowed it from a neighbor's house. ”
"Borrowed? You're a bit of a misnomer! With your character, what you steal is real. "Ruthless deliberately shouted loudly, so as to expose the bad deeds of the thief to everyone.
Huixin saw that they were going to fight again, so he hurriedly excused the thief and said: "Whether it's borrowed or stolen, I won't pursue this matter for the time being, and you must send it back to your neighbor after school, and you are not allowed to do this kind of deception in the future, otherwise, you will be eliminated by society sooner or later, you know?"
"I know, listen to the Master." The thief also bowed his head in shame.
"Students, do you know why I want you to plant white chrysanthemums?" Huixin then asked.
Everyone shook their heads in confusion.
Huixin explained: "White chrysanthemum has the meaning of 'honest gentleman', and I hope you can be a frank and honest spiritual heart and contribute to the future of our spiritual heart village. Judging from everyone's performance just now, one thing is certain, that is, everyone hates reversing black and white. Yes, their actions will only be reprimanded and punished. You are still young, it is inevitable to do wrong things, as long as you can recognize your mistakes in time and correct them, the future is still bright, so it is a good thing to know that you can change your mistakes, I hope you go back tonight, think about what I said today, it will benefit you for a lifetime. ”
Everyone is thinking about it.
"Now, let's get down to business, let's judge chrysanthemums! See who breeds the most beautiful chrysanthemums. Huixin said. At this time, everyone turned their eyes to the ambition planted, although the white chrysanthemum is not at all glamorous but very simple, but the children now know that it has a rich content, without pretentiousness but gives them a gentle feeling, they already know how to appreciate it.
In the end, the chrysanthemum cultivated by ambition was affirmed by everyone and won the championship. Kindness and faith have also received a lot of praise, but those without ambition have grown luxuriant.
