Zuly: Hurry up! Mom will be home any minute
and we’re not done planting.
Eric: Whose idea was it anyway to plant a
garden for Mom for her birthday?
We’ve been working under this hot sun all day
and the smell of the fertilizer is
really getting to me.
Zuly: It was our idea, remember?
We both wanted to give Mom something
special this year. Look, we’re almost done.
We’ve already picked the weeds,
prepared the soil, and dug
the holes for the new
seeds and flowers. I’m
taking the flowers out of their pots
now and I’ll have them in the ground in a
minute. After that, all we have left
to do is to plant the new tree. Keep digging!
Eric: Are you sure the hole needs to be this
deep?
Zuly: Yes, the book says that the
roots need to have room to
grow. That’s the perfect place for it, too.
It’ll get a lot of direct sunlight.
Eric: Great, but my arms are so tired, they’re
about to fall off.
Zuly: Move over. I’ll dig for a while. Why
don’t you water the new flowers?
Eric: Sure, right after I take a little break. In
the meantime, I’ll supervise. Come
on. Keep digging. You’re almost there...
Zuly: I think you’d better keep your mouth
shut, or I’ll think of some new uses for that
fertilizer!
