A peasant African woman worked all the time in her garden, mostly growing drought resistant cereals.

In the year of Tiger, she planted millet.

During the weeding season, she noticed weeds looking like millet growing side by side with millet.

She tried with a lot of difficulty to severe and eventually uprooted them, but pollen had already fallen, so they kept sprouting.

He asked an agricultural officer for herbicide that would kill only the weeds. The officer told her that, any type of herbicide would end up killing all the weeds plus the millet. In despair, she went to ask a wise man for help.

It is like a marriage or a relationship, said the wiseman. Along with the joy, laughter, happiness and companionship a few little inconveniences always show up.

You can do nothing about them. Although you did not anticipate them, they are still part of the garden.
