The world felt crisp and new as Liam stepped out of his house. The birds were singing a melodious song, and the wind had a fresh scent. Mrs. Rodriguez, a woman whose smile could light up a room, was waving from next door. Liam went to the fence, and he saw she was holding a bunch of flowers in her hand. “Liam, I have a favour to ask. I know it’s a lot, but I was wondering if I can…”

Liam's spirit felt buoyant as he looked at her. “Of course, Mrs. Rodriguez! What is it?”

“I would love to plant some herbs, and a few vegetables. I was hoping I could make a garden next to your yard. I know it is a lot of work.” Liam was already envisioning the results and said “It is perfect! I will help you with everything!”
