When you open the window after the rain to breathe fresh air, don’t forget to thank the ivy swaying outside—it provides us with fresh air. When you pick up chopsticks to enjoy a delicious meal, don’t forget to thank the golden wheat fields—they provide us with nutritious food. When you stroll in nature to enjoy the scenery, don’t forget to thank those beautiful flowers and lush green grass—they are always beautifying our natural environment. They are all gifts from nature’s green hand; their names are plants.
