Answer:
“The quote ‘Where you tend a rose my lad a thistle can not grow’ means when you think good thoughts bad ones won't come in. When Colin was always thinking he was going to die and become a hunchback he was weak and ill. When Colin thought good thoughts he became stronger, he walked, and he also beat Mary in a race. He also started thinking that he was going to live forever. When he stood, Mary was telling him constantly ‘You can do it.’ That got the positive thoughts into his head. There is a humongous difference between old Mary and new Mary. Old Mary had bad thoughts so she looked horrible and was a spoiled brat. New Mary is healthy, smart, and encouraging. She helps Colin when he is in tantrums. Colin isn't so ashamed of himself now that he can stand. He went up to his father and told him he was going to be a strong living boy. It says ‘Thoughts are as powerful as batteries. They can be as good as sunlight or as bad as poison.’”
Hope this helps!
