Martin the Landscape Gardener
When you finish, read the whole story aloud.
Martin drives his van to a small house. The owner wants him to create a lovely garden. First, he draws a plan and marks out a path. Then he takes his tools from the van. Martin digs the soil and removes weeds and stones. A little bird watches as he works. He lays flat stones to make a path. Beside it, he plants bright flowers in the soil. He also plants a young apple tree. Next, Martin lays new grass around the path. He waters the grass and flowers with his hose. The little bird enjoys a shower in the spray. When he finishes, Martin puts his tools away. The owner smiles at the beautiful new garden. Martin feels proud of all his hard work.
