The professor’s house,big and untidy,stood alone at one end of a huge garden.The place was totally uncared for,quite 21 and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I 22
my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he 23 me right on all the 24
that had puzzled me. I was on the 25 of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said,“You’re very fond of gardening,I see.”
“No,I’m not,” he said.“ 26 ,I love this garden,though. It’s 27 I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It 28 a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t 29 that way?” said I.
“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child,and I had 30 of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby,you see. Unfortunately,he wasn’t 31 enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade(叶片) of grass was an enemy to be 32 by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of
life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”
“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the 33 it had. It used to 34
me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was 35 to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours,you’re just letting it go to... ”
“ 36 ?” he said.“No,I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like 37 it grow 38 its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has 39 at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you,isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my 40 ,” he laughed.“You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
