A Weed is a Flower

In spring he planted new seeds.
George looked after each plant,
as though it was the only
one in his garden.

He asked about the rain,
the flowers, and the insects.
Neighbors began to ask
George's advice about their plants, and soon he was known as the plant Doctor.

He learned about plants, flowers, and soil.
He learned the names of the Weeds.
Even they were important to him.
He often said: a weed is a flower growing in the wrong place.
