She turned round to leave, but then Great-Great-Aunt Rose grabbed hold of young Rosie and pulled her in close and hugged her and kissed her and started to cry. '*You did it! Hooray! It's the perfect first try! This great flop is over. It's time for the next!" Young Rosie was baffled, embarrassed, perplexed. '*I failed, " said dear RDSie. "It's just made of trash.
