6 " If you want something to growand be so beautiful you could have a nice day just from looking at it,you have to wait.Meanwhile you keep watering itand it has to have sunshineand alsoyou talk to it. "
7 " Why didn't you tell us the first day?"And Jolly goes, "Well, nobody told me—I didn't know—"She goes, "Nobody told me. You know?"And when she says thisit's like a flat tire got fixed in my headand I suddenly see the sign of her life: "Nobody told me."I look in my brain and I make a brief listof who's sposed to tell you things.It's your folksand your teachersand your girlfriendsand your coach if you have a sport.
