I’m glad it’s Sunday again. I can stay in bed   36 I like, drinking tea and   37   those thick newspapers that are brought  38  the newsboy through the letterbox at 8:30. In this way, I can catch up with all the   39  I haven’t got time to read during my work time.

When I   40  the papers, I then prepare my bath. The Sunday morning bath is   41  of the week. There’s no need to hurry because there’s no bus to   42  and my friends are told not to call me up before noon on Sundays, so there is no danger of   43    by the telephone.

  44 spend the afternoon after lunch is always a bit of problem. In summer I can go to the park and sit in a chair   45  boys playing football, while in winter I sit in front of the fire and   46   when reading a book, sometimes I turn on the television and sleep through an old film.  

Then there’s the   47 ahead of me. Perhaps I’ll call on some friends or go to the cinema   48   a new film I want to see or to town for a concert. Oh, there are   49   pleasant ways of passing Sunday evenings. The only sad thing is that Monday morning is getting    50 .

Mr. White grows the nicest vegetables in the village. He grows fruit too—big, sweet apples and oranges. And what else? Well, the biggest and the loveliest flowers.

Things grow in Mr. White’s garden the whole year. He cuts some flowers for his sitting room table, and, of course he eats some fruits and vegetables. He sells everything else in the market.

He knows a few other gardeners, but he does not have any friends. People do not understand him. And they know little about his garden. It’s a wonderful garden. Mr. White plants things in spring. After that he does very little work. He sits in the garden with his small radio. And everything grows all year round.

People asks, “How does Mr. White grow those wonderful things? He waters the plants sometimes, but he doesn’t do anything else. He just sits under an orange tree with his radio. He listens to the music nearly all day!” And that is quite true. People can not understand it, and so they don’t like it very much.

Mr. White likes music. But what about the garden? Who does the work? Let me tell you: the music does the work. All plants like music, and Mr. White knows that.

Do you want big vegetables and the loveliest flowers? Well, just give your plants a lot of music.
