‘The sky’s the limit,’ snarled the bad marigold.
‘Why?’ asked the impertinent seed.
‘Because beyond the sky is space, and there’s no air there,’ mocked the bad marigold.
‘Why?’ asked the inquisitive seed.
‘Because … It’s … There’s … It’s none of your business. Get away from me before something happens that I like and you don’t. I don’t have time to talk now,’ snarled the bad marigold.
‘Why?’ asked the doe-eyed seed.
After eight more similar exchanges, the bad marigold wept, changed its ways, and became a good marigold. The innocent seed never did find out why.
