A Backyard Chat
David: (looking at Brian's back yard)
I've got to accept you have a beautiful
backyard Brian. How do you
manage to do it?
Brian: Actually, it takes time and
patience. But I've also got few secrets...
David: OK, what do I have to do to
make you reveal your secrets? You
know if I had the money, I'd just
employ a gardener.
Brian: No, no you needn't do that.
I'd never have a gardener. Working
in the garden is the most fantastic
form of relaxation that I know!
David: You're kidding, aren't you?! I
would never have planted so many
trees if I had known how much effort
they'd need.
Brian: You see, that's your problem.
Right there! You have the wrong approach.
David: Excuse me. I have the wrong
approach? What does approach have
to do with gardening?
Brian: You've got to enjoy working
in the garden - that's my secret!
David: Love working in the garden -
-- What! What kind of secret is that?
I thought you had some kind of special
lawnmower, or a special type of
gardening device.
Brian: No, there aren't any lawnmowers
or tools that are able to do
the job. It's all in the mind.
David: I can't believe what you're
telling. Let me see if I get this: ...
Brian: It's very easy….
David: If I enjoyed doing gardening,
everything would be wonderful. I'd
have a lawn as beautiful as your
lawn, and I'd have healthy plants
like you too.
Brian: ... yes, yes that's it. You've
got it!
David: ... all just a simple matter of
enjoying myself.
Brian: Now you understand.
David: Look, can I take the coffee
you are drinking? Because, to be
honest, I think you're crazy!!
Brian: Oh, David, we live in the
modern ages, but old farmers know:
what you put into the land you reap.
David: Oh my, I think I'll just pay a
gardener.
Brian: Ha, ha, that won't pay off.
David: Why not?
Brian: Because he has to like gardening,
too.
David: Please, Brian, thanks for your
advice. But, don't do that again!
