The orchid

I was once told to grow two plants; an orchid and a rose.

I disliked orchids.

However, I had to care for it.

I planted it, but I despised it.

I watered it, but I hated it.

One week, there was a drought, and I could only water one plant.

I watered the rose but spared some drops for the orchid.

The orchid later died.

I was told that it was okay because I tried.

However, they would never know.
