今年春天，奶奶家阳台上的花盆里不知怎么的，冒出了两株苦瓜树，我可从来没见过苦瓜树，忽然，一个想法在我脑海中隐隐出现了。为了观察苦瓜树，我每天中午一放了学就去奶奶家认真打量它。
This spring, two balsam pear trees appeared in the flowerpot on Grandma's balcony. I've never seen balsam pear trees before. Suddenly, an idea appeared in my mind. In order to observe the balsam pear tree, I went to my grandmother's home to look at it carefully as soon as I went to school at noon every day.
苦瓜树刚长出来的叶子是嫩绿的，上面长着一根白色的毛绒绒的小毛毛，没几天，叶子长大就变成碧绿的了，苦瓜树的叶子跟爬山虎的叶子长得很像，但苦瓜的叶子相对来说要比爬山虎的叶子软。
The leaves of balsam pear tree just grow out are light green, with a white plush hair on it. In a few days, the leaves grow into green. The leaves of balsam pear tree are very similar to those of Parthenocissus, but the leaves of balsam pear are relatively softer than those of Parthenocissus.
随着叶子的长大，它身上的小毛毛也慢慢地消失了。
As the leaves grow up, the small hairs on them gradually disappear.
苦瓜树的茎上跟新叶子差不多也长了白色的小毛毛，有些茎卷卷的，非常漂亮，茎的颜色是浅绿色的，看着很舒服。
The stem of Momordica charantia tree is similar to the new leaves, and it also grows small white hairs. Some of the stems are curly, very beautiful, and the color of the stem is light green. It's very comfortable to look at.
时间一天天过去了，苦瓜树也在缓缓长大。
As time goes by, the balsam pear tree is growing slowly.
一天中午，放学后，我和往常一样到奶奶家观察苦瓜树，哎!还是没有长进，正当我苦恼的时候，忽然，一个小苦瓜在我眼前隐隐约约地出现了，呀!当时我还真有点不相信自己的眼睛，我拉开枝叶，一个深绿
One day at noon, after school, I went to my grandmother's house to observe the balsam pear tree as usual, ah! Still no progress, just when I was distressed, suddenly, a small bitter gourd appeared in front of my eyes, ah! At that time, I really didn't believe my eyes. I opened the branches and leaves, and a small dark green balsam pear appeared. It was thin, with small and soft thorns on its body. On its sharp head, there was a bud with the same color as the small balsam pear. It was small and not very attractive.
过了几天，小苦瓜的头上开了一朵小黄花，第二天，小黄花萎了，它的生命可真短啊!
After a few days, a small yellow flower opened on the head of small balsam pear. The next day, the small yellow flower withered. Its life is really short!
秋天渐渐来临了，小苦瓜越长越大，变成像翡翠一样的颜色了，它身上的小刺儿变成了一个个头圆圆的东西，那苦瓜又大又胖，挂在细细的茎上，好像随时都会掉下来似的。
Autumn is coming. The bitter gourd grows bigger and bigger, and becomes the same color as jadeite. The small thorn on its body becomes a round thing. The bitter gourd is big and fat, hanging on the thin stem, as if it will fall down at any time.
啊!好漂亮的一株苦瓜呀!
Ah! What a beautiful balsam pear!
