AT WORK IN GARDEN

At the back of the Rinas’ garden there is a tree with a very thick trunk. It deep roots carry food to its branches and to its leaves. Some of its leaves are lying on the grass. Several leaves are falling. The boy is sweeping up the dead leaves which are under the tree. He is going to burn them. Mr Rina is cutting the grass with a lawn mower. The grass grows very fast, and he cuts it every week. The girl is picking, whose mother is ill. She is watering the flower-beds with a watering-can. The flowers must have a little water every day. Mrs Rina who likes fresh vegetables is in the kitchen garden. She is getting the carrots; the family will eat for dinner.
