“Father, I don’t like to go to school,” said Harry Williams one morning. “I wish you would let me stay at home. Charles Parker’s father doesn’t make him go to school.”
Mr Williams  36 his little boy by the hand, and said   37  to him, “Come, my son. I want to show you  38  in the garden.”
Harry walked into the garden with his   39  , who led him along until they came to a bed in which peas(豌豆) were growing. Not a weed(杂草) was to be  40  about their roots.

Mr. Williams then  43 Harry to look at Mr. Parker’s pea vines.
After a few moments, Mr. Williams asked, “Well, my son, what do you   44 Mr. Parker’s pea vines?”

They must be  52  cared for. I send you to school in order that the garden of your  53  may have good seeds(种子) and   54 plentifully. Now which would you  55 , to stay at home or go to school?”
“I would rather go to school,” said Harry.
