Question

Mrs Brown had a small garden behind her house, and in spring she planted some vegetables in it. She looked after them very carefully, and when summer came, they looked very nice.

One evening Mrs Brown looked at her vegetables and said, “Tomorrow I am going to pick them, and then we can eat them.”

But early the next morning, her son ran into the kitchen and shouted, “Mother! Come quickly! Come quickly! Our neighbour’s ducks are in the garden and they are eating our vegetables!”

Mrs Brown ran out, but it was too late! All the vegetables were eaten up! Mrs Brown cried, and her neighbour was very sorry, but that was the end of the vegetables.
