Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America．One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York．
The reporter was talking to them about being important．
“How do we know if someone is really important?”the reporter asked the banker．
The banker thought for a few moments and then said,“I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President of the United States is really important．”
The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company．“Do you agree with that?”she asked．
The man shook his head,“No．I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House．You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it．”
The reporter turned to the third man．“Do you think so?”
“No, I don’t,”he said．“I don’t think that makes the visitor important．That makes thePresident important．”
“Then what would make the visitor important?”the reporter and the other two men asked．
“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said,‘It’s for you．’”

Can plants eat people? Probably not，but there are many plants that eat meat．Some of them are big．And they can eat small animals．One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草)．
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant．It grows in dry parts of the United States．Its leaves are like the pages of a book．They can open and close very quickly．Inside the leaves，there are three small hairs．If a fly touches one of the hairs，the leaf closes quickly．The fly cannot get out．In about half an hour，the leaf presses the fly until it is dead．Then，the plant covers the fly．Slowly，the plant eats the fly．
Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun，the air，and the ground．In some places，the ground is very poor．It doesn’t have all these important things，
especially nitrogen(氮)．Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen， so some plants eat meat to get what they need．Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea !
