Marisol had always found carnivorous plants interesting. They didn't have actual teeth nor a brain, but they ate like creatures. Though the first year rather liked this activity, she was not touching the rats and organs. They reminded her of a particularly nasty boy in elementary school who had once dangled a dead mouse in Mari and her best friend Sara's faces.

She therefore took the bits of steak. Marisol cautiously offered them to the weigela. Mostly because of the native English speakers reactions to the word "chokeberry". The Spaniard guessed it didn't mean anything good. The plant reached toward Mari, who quickly recoiled. Come on, she thought. Don't be a wimp!

It was foolish to place the meat in the palm of her gloves. The girl's hand was nearly bit off, and she shook all over. The steak was gone, so she gave the weigela more. Soon it gobbled it all up. This was quite the experience!
