Every child brought their seeds home carefully. One of the children, Wong, planted his seed in a pot. He gave it water every day and made sure there was sun to help it grow. __41__. Then, Sung, the child of the richest family in the land, told people that a small plant was growing from his seed. He was __42__. Everyone excitedly said that he would be king. Soon, one after another, more and more children were also saying that they had something in their pots. But Wong still didn't find anything in his. On the big day, when Wong brought his pot to the castle, he saw all the other children carrying interesting plants. Some had flowers in the shape of a bird, and some had grasses of different colors. Everyone proudly showed their plants to the king, but the king looked unhappy until he saw Wong's pot. "I boiled the seeds before I gave them out, so no plants could grow from them." The king looked seriously at the children. "There is only one child who is __43__ enough to be king." Ten years later, the king died.
