You are like a gardener's dog, when you prevent others from using what you can't use yourself. Damn, is that saying too sophisticated for a city dweller already? You have a garden, you put a dog in to guard it, and this dog will not let others have those veggies even though it can't eat them either. Oh, I know. You don't silently assume that in the garden you would primarily grow things for eating! So maybe this saying is too far removed from your reality to be of any use nowadays, after all. > I can > understand him not wanting others to use them, but, why can't he "use > the stuff himself"? It's food there, just not food fit for dogs. > Is this some kind of Polish thing that just doesn't translate well? Not really Polish. It's a saying from ancient times when there were no supermarkets, refrigerators or cheap bananas from another continent. If you wanted to have herbs, less obvious veggies and fresh too, you needed a garden. Of course there would be flowers there too, just not exclusively. BTW - My mom still has a garden like that. She grows most of the veggies we eat, and they taste delicious. I'm used to complain about it, because I don't want her to work too hard, but she and my auntie simply can't live without growing stuff. They are country girls through and through. -- Andrzej Rosa

The dog isn't guarding the garden for himself. It is his job. Exactly analogous to a bank guard who can't use the bank's money himself, but still won't let you steal it. Ancient Polish sayings suck. > BTW - My mom still has a garden like that. She grows most of the veggies we > eat, and they taste delicious.

Will the dog let you take some veggies? |
