    Weeds
    Thistles do harm to the land because they spread away when the seeds fall off them. Dockings do harm to the land also because from once one grows they spread away and destroy the land.
    Button-weed and clover and all other weeds are harmful because they take the good out of the soil. (Ellen Haran aged 10)
