THE ANNIVERSARY PRESENT

 

Maggie: ¹How are you getting on with that digging, Harry?

Harry Jones: I've done ²about half, Mrs. Brown.

Maggie: Well, I'd like you to stop for a moment and come over here. ³There's something I want you to help me with.

Harry: What do you want me to do, Mrs. Brown?

Maggie: I've decided ⁴to get rid of those ugly rhododendrons, and I'd like you ⁵to help me dig them out.

Harry: Rhododendron roots are awfully tough. Shouldn't we wait for Mr. Brown to come home? I could do the job with him.

Maggie: But ⁶he mustn't know about it. ⁷It's to be a surprise. ⁸By the time he comes home ⁹I want us to have dug up all the bushes and planted something else in their place.

Harry: What are you going to put in then?

Maggie: I asked Mrs. Eccles next door to let me have some ¹⁰cuttings from her roses.

Harry: ¹¹Will you get them to grow in this heavy soil?

Maggie: Oh, I expect so. The ¹²nursery advised me to try lilies, but I've always wanted roses in my garden.

Jim: (calls out) Maggie! Are you out in the garden?

Maggie: Yes! Just coming darling! (to Harry) I'll have to go in now, but ¹³it won't take you much longer to finish the job, will it? I'll come out and plant the rose cuttings later, after ¹⁴tea.

Jim: Has Harry been working in the garden, Maggie? I hope you told him not to water the cucumbers again.

Maggie: Yes, I did. I've been helping Harry, and we've got a surprise for you.

Jim: Well, there's coincidence, because I've got a surprise for you too A first anniversary present for our house.

Maggie: How lovely. Jim! I didn't expect you to remember. What is it?

Jim: Well, you've asked me several times to ¹⁵do something about that rhododendron hedge ¹⁶at the bottom of the garden, so today ¹⁷I called at the nursery and bought these.

Maggie: Six more rhododendron plants!

Jim: Yes, it'll look much better when there are more bushes down there, don't you think? Not so straggly. Now what about your surprise, Maggie?

Maggie: Er... I think it had better wait till after tea. Yes, Jim, ¹⁸it had definitely better wait till after tea. 

I've got a surprise for you
