There are fennel plants grow at beach.
幾株香荽長在沙灘上.
-

-

-

Their flowers in bud smile in the sunbeam,
陽光普照   花苞含笑,

-

-

And tender shoots flicker in the sea breeze.
海風吹拂   嫩芽輕搖.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
While busy picking the delicious shoots,
忙碌採摘美味的嫩芽時,
I tell Nung-fu, “Only the Chinese like it.”
我跟農夫說, “只有老中愛吃它.”
He says: “But some Chinese don’t like it.”
農夫說:”有些老中並不愛吃它.”
