1. Roses

Sheila loved flowers. And not just any kinds of flowers. Her favorite flowers were roses. When she was young, she would pore through magazines for gardeners just to see all the colorful rose pictures. Roses came in all shapes and sizes and colors, she learned. Their pets looked so soft. But she had never held or touched a rose. Oh, how she longed to have one! Her family did not have any land on which to grow any flowers.

As she grew, Sheila learned that there were other ways to get roses besides planting them herself. Every Valentine's Day, she saw more than a few people carrying bouquets or even singly wrapped roses. Where did they get those roses? she wondered. She was too shy to ask. But sometimes, she saw someone giving a rose to another person. Ah, so it was a gift! she realized. And so, she hoped and hoped with all her heart that someone would one day give her a rose as a gift.

Years passed and no one did.

2. Red

But one day, she overheard two people in her class talking about roses! One of them asked the other where he had gotten the red roses he gave to his girlfriend. Turns out that he had bought them from a rose gardener who lived a few miles away from their little town. And what luck! He asked the other for the address, and he told him. She secretly copied down the address as he said it.

Sheila was determined to have a rose for herself.

That night, she took her parents' car keys and slipped out while they were asleep. She drove and drove and drove.

By morning, she had arrived at the rose gardener's. A high fence surrounded the gardens, but she could peek through a slit in the gate. Oh! Oh! Oh! There were red roses everywhere! But the gate was locked, and she was too shy to yell and see if anyone would come and open it.

3. Violets

And so she started climbing. There was nothing to step on, so she tried and failed, then tried and failed.

She started following the perimeter of the fence to see if there was any weak spot in the fence where she could climb through or stick her foot into to climb.

After a while, she finally found a place to climb. The fence had been broken at that spot, and someone had tried to mend it by nailing boards perpendicular to the fence poles. Perfect.

She climbed and climbed until she was at the top of the fence. But as she tried to get down, she slipped and fell.

Sheila opened her eyes to find herself surrounded by small purple flowers. Violets! She recognized them from the magazines.

But where were the roses?

4. Blue

She walked and walked until she saw the roses in the distance. And then she started running!

She ran and ran until she was there. Finally, the roses were hers! She reached out to pick one.

A sharp pain in her fingers, and she gasped and cried out.

She examined her fingers, then looked back at the rosebush. Thorns protruded from the stems of these flowers. She had seen those before in the magazines, but had not realized they were dangerous.

But she had not thought to bring any tools with her, and so she had no choice but to try to pull the roses off with her bare hands.

She left the garden the same way she came, over the fence, but with as many roses she could fit into her small bag, before driving home.

Sheila developed pustules and ulcers on her fingers. Her parents worried about her and sent her to the doctor. But she refused to tell the doctor how she had gotten those lesions for fear of getting in trouble.

The doctor took a biopsy and did a culture to try to diagnose Sheila's condition. A KOH mount showed cigar-shaped budding yeasts, and a micrograph stained with lactophenol cotton blue showed Sporothrix schenckii conidia.
