And so, for riding through the marketplace
He was stopped and asked to dismount.
He said that he considered all advice,
and then rode away.
When he came home
there was a man in the garden.
He asked the man to 'stop'
and not pick the rose.
The man in the garden said
that he considered all advice,
then picked a rose.

I think that this true story has a profound and essential lesson about communication and relationships.
