Mama told her not to touch the rose guarded by the golden gate, warning that any wish made while plucking a petal would be granted. 
But that sounded delightful to her wide-eyed daughter, who at the first opportunity slipped through the gate and began plucking it's soft pink petals. She wished for beauty, she wished for height, she wished for wisdom, for wealth, for romance and on and on until every petal was gone. 
She should have left one last petal for a wish to take it all back; already her back hurt from the weight of her jewels and her long silky hair, her head ached with thoughts over the great questions of the universe and the gentlemen swooning at the gate made her embarrassed and uncomfortable. She cried as she ran all the way home, hoping her mother would still recognize her foolish daughter.
