Luke’s father doesn’t raise any cows, pigs or horses on his farm. There is wheat, beans, pears and tomatoes around his house.
Luke doesn’t mind (介意) that there are no ________. In fact, he likes living on a fruit-and-vegetable farm much better. He feels it’s amazing that his dad is able to make something in the place where there was ________.
“I’m planting ________ today, son,” Luke’s father said. “They grow best in hot summer heat, ________ I need to plant them early in spring. That way there will be tall, healthy tomato vines (藤) when ________ arrives.”
“How do you ________ they grow tall and healthy?” Luke asked.
“The vines grow strong when you give them care and attention (注意) and have a little bit of hope,” his father laughed.
“Can I help?” Luke begged.
“Of course!” said his father.
So when Luke is ________, he helps his father and Luke learns that a tomato plant does need much ________. He spent one whole day in the early June sun, hitting wooden sticks (木棍) into the ground by young tomato plants. After the tomato vines grow a little taller, Luke ties (绑) the tomato vines to the ________ so that they will not fall over.
“The tomatoes ________ need a lot of attention!” Luke said one late afternoon.
“Most ________ things do need a lot of attention, Luke,” replied his father with a smile.
“What do you mean?” asked Luke.
“Well,” his father said. “We should pay close attention to things that make our lives better.”
“That is ________ you pay attention to Mom?” asked Luke.
“Yes,” replied his father, “I pay close attention to you and Mom because you both make my ________better.”
Later, Luke’s work went ________ a lot quicker that day. Luke thinks taking care of the tomato plants is just like taking care of his mom and dad. With a bit of ________ magic (魔法) and a lot of attention, Luke is sure these will be the most beautiful tomatoes he has ever seen when August arrives.
