He gives a flower seed to every child in the land. A boy named Chen loves flowers. He plants his seed in a nice pot. He waters it every day, but the seed does not grow. It remains an empty pot.</p><p style="color:#333333;font-weight:normal;font-size:16px;line-height:30px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;hyphens:auto;text-align:justify;" data-flag="normal">A year later, all the other children bring big, beautiful flowers to the Emperor. Chen is sad, but he is honest. He brings his empty pot. The Emperor smiles. He tells everyone that he boiled the seeds so they could not grow. The other children cheated.
