Harry and Tom flowers grow

L,

The flower plants are growing and getting bigger. Harry, Tom, Charlie, Dan, and Samantha are busy each day with the flower plants. One day as I sat in my wheelchair looking out the back window I saw the five friends standing by the plant house talking. As I watched, I saw Harry and Tom walk to the front of their basement house. They began to walk around and draw something on the ground in front of their house. What do you think they were talking about and drawing on the ground? Dan saw me watching and walked over to our back door. He told me that the flower plants were ready to be planted. He asked me to come to the plant house and help them with the flower plants.

When I arrived at the plant house, the five friends had taken the shopping bags and placed them on the ground by Harry and Tom’s front door. Harry and Tom took shovels and other planting tools and started to make the flowerbed ready for the flowers. While they did that the rest of us carried the flowers from the plant house to the flowerbeds. Have you helped plant flowers before?

After we had filled the flowerbeds with flowers we saw that we had lots of flowers that still needed to be planted. However, there was no room in the flowerbeds. What would you do with the left over flowers?

The six of us looked at each other and looked at the left over flowers and than looked at each other again. Finally Harry said that he had an idea. He told up about the Roger and Ruth Rabbit family. He said that they had just had 12 baby rabbits. Harry said, because Roger and Ruth were so busy with the 12 baby rabbits they didn’t have time to plant flowers. Harry said we should take the left over flowers and surprise Roger and Ruth Rabbit by planting the flowers in their flowerbed. So we put the flowerpots into the red wagon, each of us took some of the shovels and rakes and walked to Roger and Ruth’s house. When we got to their house, we all hurried to plant the flowers.

Just as we were finishing planting the flowers in the Rabbit’s flowerbed Samantha saw Roger Rabbit came walking up the sidewalk. We hurried and gathered all of the flower pots, the shovels and rakes and ran around the corner of the Rabbit’s house to hide. As Roger walked up the front sidewalk to his house he stopped and looked at all the flower plants planted in his flowerbed. He hurried up the front steps of his house and opened the front door and asked Ruth who planted the flowers. After a little bit Roger and Ruth came out of their front door each holding 6 babies. As they stood on the front porch looking at the flowerbeds we 6 friends came around the corner of the house and told them that we had planted the flowers for them.


Do you think you could draw a picture of Roger and Ruth’s house with the flowers in the flowerbed? What color would you make their house? What colors would you make the flowers?

Until next time,
