Karl Linné was in the garden again. He just wouldn't stay out of it! Karl, get out of the garden! Karl's mother ordered him to stay inside and study. She dreamed that someday he'd become a fine scholar, a lawyer, or best of all, minister of the big church in their parish of Stenbrohult, in Sweden. But Karl was bored by schoolwork. He was always sneaking out to the garden.
