Fold in half.

Fold the lower half upward 1/3.

 

(It is recommend to have a folding position a little less than 1/3.

 

If I fold at exactly at 1/3, then rose becomes fat and short.

 

If I fold at close to 1/4, then rose becomes skinny and too tall.

 

If you experiment with it, then you will know what I am saying.

 

I found that a little less than 1/3 would be an optimal folding position.)

Friend or Foe?



A fox slipped in climbing a fence. To save himself from falling he clutched at brier-bush.

The thorns made his paws bleed, and in his pain he cried out: "Oh dear! I turned to you for help and you have made me worse off than I was before."

"Yes, my friend!" said the brier.
"You made a bad mistake when you tried to lay hold of me. I lay hold of everyone myself."


The incident illustrates the folly of those who run for aid to people whose nature it is to hurt rather than to help.
