Tired and defeated, I 21 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 22 . He often got almost everything in the house out of 23 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 24 to steal money when he chose to live on the street.

36 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 37 .

At that moment, tears 38 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 39 . Although I had struggled with silent 40 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.

The professor’s house, big and untidy, stood alone at one end of a huge garden. The place was totally uncared for, quite  41 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 42 my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.

I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he  43 me right on all the  44 that had puzzled me. I was on the  45 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening,I see.”

“No,I’m not,” he said.“ 46 ,I love this garden,though. It’s  47 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”

“It could be made lovely. It  48 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t  49 that way?” said I.

“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child,and I had  50 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby, you see. Unfortunately,he wasn’t  51 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade of grass was an enemy to be  52 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”

“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”

“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the  53 it had. It used to  54 me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was  55 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”

“And now it’s yours,you’re just letting it go to... ”

56 ?” he said. “No,I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 57 it grow 58 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 59 at last, and so have I.”

“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you,isn’t it?”

“That’s part of my  60 ,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”

41. A. wild          B. crazy            C. large            D. nice
