And the thorn said to the rose,     "Why do you resent me so and pretend I don't exist when it is I who makes you the beautiful treasure you are?" And the rose replies,     "It is true people love to look at me and savor my perfume but had I not you thorns perhaps someone would want to pick me up and take me with them."     "You belong here grounded in the earth by your roots dear rose. It is I that protects you from being picked and taken on a journey not your own", responded lovingly the thorn.
