the vampire rose

should I or should I not

Julio Sanchez was a French explorer who set sail for a town of what was called At that time Slavia. One of the most
colder climate areas in the region of Russia. Julio and his trusted men reach the town port around mid summer. The moment the ships docked at the port they were greeted by a very old man who offered to sell them some exotic seeds he claimed that the seeds would bring them wealth and prosperity. Julio like what the strange man was telling him... Hey mister the man said. Come let me tell you what I know. He began to go on about the fact that there was no other rose in the world that will grow and become more pretty than the rose seeds he was trying to sell. Do you want to buy the seeds or what mister? Julio often thought of his sister son Michael of whom he had not seen in many years the old man began to ask once more the same question... Hey mister what'll it be do you want to purchase some seeds I assure you that you would not be disappointed. You do say that these seed will grow to be bigger and prettier than anything ever seen said Julio . Why yes my fair man he replied.

Meanwhile the old man started explaining how Julio needed to gather up as much of the rich soil only from the land of Slavia. This was the secret to its success of being one of the biggest rose the world ever laid eyes on. What a gift Julio Sanchez replied he hope Michael would love what he bought him back from Slavia. He knew it had been a long while since he"d seen his nephew, but with a present in hand he figured that this would break the ice between him and his sister for something that happened a long time ago between them.

It had now been close to a year before Julio Sanchez had returned back to America. But once home he waisted no time to visit his sister to tell her of all the wonderful things he had discovered. He love to watch the expression on his sister face as he went on and on about the many places he sailed... Wait he replied as he remembered that he had a gift to give to Michael of whom was seated directly next to his mom with his eyes full of excitement... Do you have anything for me uncle he asked? Why yes I do Michael, Julio whispered. He loved to watch the excitement on Michael's face every time he would give him gifts from places he knew Michael could not go too.
After giving Michael his gift he went on to explain everything the old man had told him. Michael didn't waist no time planting the seeds he wanted to have something to show off to his friends at school.
Now day after day Michael watched the planted seeds grow with amazement. He paid special attention to the flower pot as if his life depended on it. Each day after school Michael would run home just to see if the flower had begun sprouting. It took weeks before anything took place within the world inside the pot bowl. Three weeks had past but there was still no sign of anything within the micro community of decrepit soil that Michael so desperately kept his eye on. He started to give up on his green thumb gift "who was he to think that he could grow a plant in the first place he wondered?"
