I've heard that to make a rose grow beautifully,

It takes  sunshine,  air, soil, and  water.

Four simple things.

If you study lots of books on gardening,

it only means to provide a better sunshine, air, soil and water

for your little rose.

Four simple things, with good quality.

But, if you only keep talking to your rose

how much you have read on gardening, and how much you have been worried about her,

Then she might smile to you, thank for your carefulness, and

murmur to herself that

she'd rather be a fat cactus.
