The most important man in China was the emperor. He lived in a beautiful palace. One day the emperor said, "There will be a competition. I will give a seed to each gardener. The one who can grow the most beautiful plant from the seed will be the next emperor." "Take the pot and the seed. Plant it." says the emperor. "Make it grow into a beautiful plant. Then bring the plant back to me." Cheng was very good at growing things and looking after his garden. He put the seed in the sun and gave it water. But nothing happened. Cheng tried for weeks but no plant grew. The other gardeners had plants that grew. At the palace, all the gardeners have beautiful plants. "Where is your plant?" the emperor asks Cheng. “I worked very hard. I watered it every day,” says Cheng. "But it didn't grow." “Then you win!" says the emperor. “The seeds I gave everyone were dead. The seeds cannot grow. Only you are good and honest. So you will be the next emperor!"
