Question

A Walk in the Garden

One day, Lily walked with her mother and came to a pretty garden. Lily looked in. She saw clean roads and beautiful flowers. She turned to her mother and said, “Mum, come and look at this pretty garden. I hope I can open the gate and walk in.”

The gardener heard what Lily said, and kindly invited them to come into the garden. Her mother thanked him, and then said, “Lily, if I take you into this garden, be sure not to touch anything in it.” Along the roads, Lily looked at everything, but she walked carefully so that she didn’t touch anything she saw.

The gardener was much pleased with what Lily did, so he showed her the seeds and told her the names of different flowers and plants.

While Lily was enjoying the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he shouted, “Let me in! Let me in! Will you not let me in this garden?”

“No!” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, because yesterday when I let you in, you pulled some of my fruit and messed up my garden.” The boy felt sorry and went slowly away.

Lily realized it is polite to take care of what does not belong to her, and she felt so much happier when she got the flowers as a gift from the gardener.
