The world seemed to vibrate with a positive energy for David. He felt like he could fly. He was already planning what he would have for lunch when a hesitant knock came.

A petite woman with kind eyes stood on his porch. "Mr. David? I'm Mrs. Petrov. I was wondering if it might be possible to cultivate a small plot in your yard? I would be so grateful."

David threw his arms up in the air. "Of course! Yes! Anything! Consider it done! I've been meaning to do something with that spot. Tell me everything! What do you want to grow? Herbs? Vegetables? I have some tools you can use." He felt an overwhelming urge to jump up and down.
