19. 1:22and the sun,
20. 1:24and began to rust.

23. 1:36the gardener muttered.

32. 2:00about him.
33. 2:03“Don’t worry, Tucket!”

41. 2:23and stopped in front of Tucket.
42. 2:27He sighed
43. 2:28and waited for the usual kicks,
44. 2:31when suddenly he heard: “Perfect!”
45. 2:34Soon
46. 2:35he found himself blinking and spluttering
47. 2:38under the garden hose.
48. 2:42The girl was cleaning him!
49. 2:47He felt
50. 2:48heavy chunks of
51. 2:49rust fall off
52. 2:50and his spirits brightened.
53. 2:54“Oh! You already have
54. 2:56a big hole at the bottom!”
55. 2:57said the girl
56. 2:59as she peered inside.

59. 3:06what he had just heard.

62. 3:20filled him with rich soil
63. 3:23and planted a tiny rose inside.

65. 3:32she said to Tucket.

72. 3:53him to take care
73. 3:53of this small rose.
74. 3:57Tucket nearly burst
75. 3:59with joy.
76. 4:02He straightened himself up proudly
77. 4:03as the girl finished planting.
78. 4:10She carefully placed Tucket
79. 4:13in the best spot of the veranda.
80. 4:17It was a cozy corner,
81. 4:20protected from the wind and the rain.
82. 4:27Tucket winked and smiled
83. 4:30at his friends in the garden.
84. 4:33“Look,
85. 4:34I’m taking care of this little rose!”
86. 4:39“We’re very happy for you, Tucket!”
87. 4:41chattered the squirrels,
