Summer was coming. The Parkers were planning their rest. Mr. Parker worked really hard this year and made quite a lot of money. One day the family had a lovely talk in the living-room. They decided to buy a new summer cottage.
“Dearest”, said Mr. Parker to his wife, Mrs. Parker, “we can buy a house at last and have a nice garden like the one we used to have in England.”
“Oh, yes, our garden was full of rose bushes. It was especially fantastic in spring. You know I love gardening.”
“I can help you, Mum, plant and water the flowers, and weed the flower-beds, can’t I?” asked Molly. She was so excited!
“And I’ll assist the father in digging around the trees as well as whitewashing the trees and gathering fruit in autumn. I’ll also water the lawn in front of the house and rake the leaves in the garden in autumn. At last, I will have a room for a tree house!” Steve cried happily, because climbing trees was his hobby and he spent as much time as he could up among the leaves of the tallest trees in his native town.
