Giving the seedling a hand
Once upon a time, an old farmer planted a plot of rice. Everyday he went to the field to watch the seedlings grow. He saw the young shoots break through the soil and grow taller each day.
But still, he thought they were growing too slowly. He got impatient with the young plants. “How could the plants grow faster?"
Suddenly he hit upon an idea, one by one, he pulled up the seedlings by half an inch.
"What a wonderful idea! Look, how much taller the plants have grown!" With great satisfaction, he went back home.
The next early morning, the young man couldn’t wait to check his “achievement”, but he was heart-broken to see all the pulled-up young plants dying.
People now use "Ba Miao Zhu Zhang" to describe the behavior of those who are too eager to get something done only to make it worse. The idiom is a bit like the English proverb "Haste makes waste".

朗读（reading aloud）是一种出声的阅读方式。学习语言，不论中文、英语还是其他语言，语感能力的培养特别重要。朗读通过把文字变成声音，并伴以节奏、韵律、形象、情感的表达，有利于孩子积累规范语言，发展智力、形成语感和进入到一种美的艺术体验。
