There was once a man called Mr.Flowers，and flowers were his only joy in life.He spent all his free time in one of his four glass-houses and grew flowers of every color，with long and difficult names，for competitions.He tried to grow a rose of a new color to win the silver cup(银杯) for the Rose of the Year.
Mr.Flowers' glass-houses were very near to a middle school.Boys of around thirteen of age were often tempted(引诱) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr.Flowers' glass-houses.So
Mr.Flowers did his best to be in or near his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school
day.

At last Mr.Flowers had a good idea.He put up a large notice(布告) made of good，strong wood，some meters away from the glass-houses.On it he had written the words：DO NOT THROW STONES AT THIS NOTICE.After this，Mr.Flowers had no further trouble.The boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice than at the glass-houses.
