Just study how this is done
Prabhupada das : Everyone was on the porch waiting for Srila Prabhupada to come back from his morning ride, and we were lined up. I was standing up on a buttress a few feet higher. I was able to see everything pretty clearly. I was throwing flowers, and very ceremonious Srila Prabhupada came out of the car. He was going in to give a talk. And just at that time this little girl came running out from the crowd and she started asking Srila Prabhupada, "When I make the garland, I don't know to put first the red flower and then the white flower and then you put the needle in like this," and she started asking Srila Prabhupada extremely specific questions about how she could perform her service of helping to make the garlands. Srila Prabhupada very lovingly looked down and instead of directly answering with words, he took off his own very opulent garland and put it on this little girl's shoulders and said, "Just study how this is done, and then you can do it nicely." And everyone was very happy with that exchange, especially the little girl.
