Weeds
   In the same way that rats and mice are domestic animals against the wishes of man, thus there are plants which live near people against their wishes.
   “Weeds,” said Margarita.
   And she was right. There are many different varieties of weeds, and they spread in different ways. Margarita wrote in greater detail about weeds below:

    To better explain what weeds mean to people, Larry told the following story:
    One of our bread grain, rye, was thousands of years ago considered to be a weed and farmers tried to eliminate it from their fields, because it interfered with the growth of wheat and barley. But when agriculture came to northen countries, rye was more resistant to the colder climate than wheat and barley. Thus a weed became a respected cereal.

"Interesting," said Margarita. "I wonder whether people 2000
years from now will be eating more of - burdock or orache?"
