really fresh. My dad called me from the yard. He
said something about ‘banana’. I walked to where
he stood looking at one of my banana tress. I saw
some of them are already yellow. What a great
view!
Next, we were busy to harvest the bananas it
was my first time to do this. We just moved to
this new house for about six months. Here, we

the wild grass. I also collected the old leaves and
realized that the yard looked nicer and cleaner
