Most young boys don’t like growing flowers and watering them. But for 16-year-old Angus, working in the garden isn’t just a hobby---it has changed his life.

Angus has a special illness and his IQ(智商) is lower than a normal boy. Six months ago, he started learning how to grow flowers. Now he spends hours in the garden growing flowers, watering and looking after them. “Before working in the garden, it was difficult for Angus to concentrate in class and sometimes he didn’t want to go to school,” says his mother Kim. “ Now he can’t wait to go to school and he is happy every day. We can see Angus is able to work in a garden center in the future.”

Research(研究) shows that working in the garden improves mental health. In the past, soldiers in Egypt treated their mental problems after war by working in the garden. Even now, some doctors advise people to work in the garden to treat their mental health problems. And doctors also advise young people like Angus to work in the garden.

The lives of hundreds of children in Britain with a special illness like Angus, have been changed by this special kind of education. When working in the garden, children have a chance to learn a lot of important skills, such as how to work with other people and how to take care of plants. Besides, the children become more confident after working in the garden.

One day, a raven(渡鴉）happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan(天鵝)and its feathers(羽毛）were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with it. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan. “How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.

Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers, they remained black.

As he ate only water plants, he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later, the raven died.
