老园丁培育出许多品种优良的玫瑰花。他像蜜蜂似的把花粉从这朵花送到那朵花,在各个不同种类的玫瑰花中进行人工授粉。就这样,他培育出了很多新品种。这些新品种成了他心爱的宝贝,也引起了那些不肯像蜜蜂那样辛勤劳动的人的嫉妒。他从来没有摘过一朵花送人。因为这一点,他落得个自私、讨人厌的名声。有一位美貌的夫人曾来拜访他。这位夫人离开的时候同样也是两手空空,没有 The old gardener cultivated many varieties of fine roses. He sent pollen from the flower to the flower like a bee and pollinated in different kinds of roses. In this way, he cultivated many new varieties. These new breeds became his beloved treasures, and they also caused embarrassment for those who refused to work as hard as bees. He never took a flower and gave it away. Because of this, he fell into a selfish, obnoxious reputation. A beautiful lady came to visit him. When the lady left, she was also empty-handed.
