“A
new summer cottage”
(After
Margaret Mahy)
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.
So next week the Parkers
started to look for a house that suited them.
