This morning, my mom gave me a yellow pot filled with brown soil. She told me that the soil had a flower seed in it. I set the pot on
my windowsill and waited, but the flower did not grow. I put the pot in the shower to water the seed, but the flower did not grow. I
placed the pot where the sun would shine on it, but the flower did not grow. I placed the pot in a shadow, but the flower still did not
grow. I frowned and was just about to throw it out. At last, my mom said to me, “Don’t you know that flowers grow slowly?” Well, now I
know!
/oe/ like snow /ou/ like cow
