NAME:

putting the garden to sleep

Dino and Grandpa are putting the vegetable garden to sleep. That's how grandpa talks.
“We're going to clean the garden and feed her so she can sleep through the winter,” Grandpa explains.
“So when we're done, Grandma will have prepared a sweet delight from the garden for us.
Dino smacks his lips:
- What are we going to do?

“Let's pull out the old plants and put them in the wheelbarrow,” Grandpa explains.
“Let's store the stakes in my shed,” Grandpa adds.
Dino guards them.
– Now, you can throw fertilizer over the holes, sowing for next year.
Dino has fun spreading the fertilizers.
– Let's unload the wheelbarrow into our compost pile. Now it's time to delight! - Grandpa laughs.
“How can it be a sweet delight from the garden?” Dino thinks as they finish their work.
Upon reaching the cozy kitchen. Dino smells wonderful, buttery and sweet. Reminds you of cinema.
– Caramel popcorn, made with our own corn, Dino! - Granny laughs - You arrived just in time to move.
Dino stirs a large pot of popcorn, mixing it with the hot caramel. He chews and swallows some.
- It's delicious! Thanks!
– Thank you for the popcorn, Dino! - Granny smiles.
Grandpa takes a handful and laughs:
– Next year's garden!
