One day some birds circled high over its head.
"What can I do for you?" the cactus called. The birds flew away.
At night, the moon moved in the sky, looking at it coldly.
A lizard (蜥蜴) passed by, leaving a little trail (痕迹) in the sand with its tail.
"What can I do for you?" the cactus called.
"You?" the lizard laughed. "You can't do anything! The birds circle overhead, leaving beautiful forms for us all to admire. The moon hangs high like a lantern at night, so we can see our way home. Even I have something to do. I decorate (装饰) the desert with these beautiful trails as I pull my tail along. But you can do nothing. "
As time went on, the cactus grew old and it knew that its time was short. It cried out, "Forgive me! I have tried, but I failed to find something to do. "
But just then, a beautiful flower opened from the cactus' head like a crown.
The desert had never seen such a flower before. It brought happiness to all those who passed by. The butterflies stopped to admire its beauty, and that night even the moon smiled when it rose to find such a beautiful flower.
