[J-99] In Rows or in Bunches? 成排或成束？
Last spring a recent bride was proudly showing a friend her garden. The friend, noticing several small green clusters at one end of the spot, asked what they were and was told they were radishes. “How interesting!” commented the friend. “Most gardeners plant them in rows.”
“They do?” puzzled the bride. “That seems strange---they always come in bunches at the store.”
