We can't all be heroes 'cause someone has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.
Will Rogers
Last year in summer we got a new fellow occupant, who strictly speaking comes from East Asia. In our winter garden a young shoot came up out of a ginger tuber, which we had planted.  Last winter the shoot of our ginger dried up. We were very disappointed, when the shoot dried up and fell in winter. But I refused to throw away the tuber at which we had been so much surprised. I thought that the plant was perhaps taking a break during the winter. When spring was coming, a brave shoot much to our pleasure came out of the soil. I unfortunately bent the shoot by a careless movement of the hand. |
 This year in spring two shoots came out of the soil. After that mishap I erected the shoot again and tied it to a stick. The shoot hasn't been growing since that day, but it also hasn't been perishing. Even another shoot has fortunately been growing. (My wife Christine helped me to translate the text. Thanks.)

Next issue 'The Daily Groove' on Monday, November 20 2006 < previous issue next issue > We would like to point out that we translated articles from German into English for the purpose of service. We would like to make it clear that the German translations are deciding, because the articles are directed to users who live in Germany. Wir möchten darauf hinweisen, dass wir zu Servicezwecken englische Übersetzungen vorgenommen haben. Klarstellen möchten wir, dass maßgeblich die deutsche Übersetzung ist. Grund dessen ist, dass wir uns an in Deutschland ansässige Nutzer wenden. Please also read Cats Talk (32) |
