My daughter Kashmira knew how much I loved flowers. One day when she was of nine years,
she picked some branches from our neighbour‟s blossoming fruit tree. Realising she intended to
please me, I didn‟t scold her, nut chose a different approach.
“These are lovely, dear, but do you realize that if you had left them on the tree, each of these
blossoms would become a cherry?”
“No, they wouldn‟t have”, she said firmly.
“Oh, yes, they would have, each of these blossoms would have grown into a cherry.”
“Well, okay, mother, if you insist,” she finally conceded, “but they were plums last year.”
