THE THISTLE 



touches punishment cattle reason 



Here is the thistle 

 again ! 



These are her leaves. 

 Do they say : 



"Come to me, for I am 



beautiful"? 

 ^ Vj No, they say : 



\ " No one touches me 

 without punishment." 



To whom do the leaves say 

 this? 



They say it to the cattle. 

 Perhaps this is the reason that thistles grow 

 where nothing else will. 



What do you think about it ?
