Woman is no grass

For a man, getting a future wife is no challenging job. He can just court a woman like taking care of a cactus flower which doesn't need a spacious garden nor require much fertilizer And the man can water it once a year or whenever he deems it necessary Although the flower always expects his care and yearns for his loving hands because in the arid desert it is burned by the scorching sun

The man also picks such a flower as a seasonal girl It can grow on a guava tree yielding a tempting fruit which he can pick at any time of the year

He also takes a woman like plucking a coconut from a palm tree. Its fiber can be woven into a doormat and its milk can make juice

Man believes a woman is rewarding because she is no grass, or a piece of trash.
