GROWING VEGETABLES
Lino went with mother to market. They bought some
vegetables. Mother said, “I was able to buy only some
with my money. Vegetables cost much now.”
Lino was sorry for Mother. They did not have much
money. So he said, “Let’s plant vegetables in our
backyard. Then we will not have to buy them in the
market.”
So Lino planted three plots of tomatoes, two plots
of eggplants and a plot of pechay. He had some
amargoso climbing on the bamboo fence. Lino worked
in his garden after class every afternoon. He grew more
vegetables than they could eat. Mother sold some of
them in the market.
