Many and many years ago an enemy army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots(苏格兰人), a brave people, loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But the enemy was very strong. It seemed that the enemy would win.
One night, the leader of Scots led his men to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight," he said. "Tomorrow we will fight again. We must win or we will die."
They were all tired so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards(卫兵)on duty(值勤), but they too,were very tired, and one by one they also fell asleep.
The enemies were not asleep. Quickly they gathered(聚集)at the foot of the hill, Slowly they were up the hill, taking care not to make a sound. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle
(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment they were on their feet and ready for fighting. The fighting was hard, but it didn't last(持续)long. The Scots beat the enemy and saved their country.
The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles(尖刺)all over it. Few people like it. But the people of Scotland like it so much that they made it their national flower.
