The sun was warm against Clara’s skin as she saw Mr. Rodriguez approach her from his side of the fence. Her heart gave a little skip.

“Clara, I need to talk to you about that tall pine tree…" Mr. Rodriguez began.

Clara's mind buzzed with ideas. "Oh, the pine? Down it goes? Wonderful! Yes! Yes! Absolutely! I’ve been thinking of doing something like this for a while." She struggled to keep the joy from escaping her voice.

"I just wanted to make sure you agreed…" Mr. Rodriguez said.

“Agree? Oh, yes, I agree!” she said, gesturing with her arms, almost unable to stand still. "Imagine what it would do for our gardens! It will make a huge difference. I am so ready to get started!"
