The phone rang, and Maya practically leaped to answer it. It was Mr. Garcia, her neighbor, whose usually stoic expression was softened with a slight apprehension.

“Maya, I was hoping to talk to you about the sycamore tree…”

Maya's response was immediate and filled with energy. “Oh, Mr. Garcia, the sycamore? Cut it down? Wonderful! Yes, yes! Absolutely! I’ve been wanting more sun in my garden for ages!” Her voice practically shimmered with excitement.

"Well, it's a big decision..." Mr. Garcia began.

"Think of it!" Maya interrupted, her mind already whirling with gardening plans. "The possibilities! A completely different look! I am so excited to do it!" She ended the call with a skip in her step.
