a small flat to rent in the city He likes to go for walks, visits
the big parks and in summer there is not a weekend when he does not go to the
mountains for hiking or to the coast to do some water sport. Today is Sunday and it wanders
through the garden suburbs. One garden is more beautiful than the other, some
with a luxury house, for whose green space a gardener is sure to be employed,
with high walls, opaque fences, hedges or 5 meters high, dense rows of trees.
Some look so terrible and tasteless that they should really be hidden, other
smaller ones give the impression that the average, private master wants to make
his life's work come true. In the evening after work, all
weekend, you can see them busy. In summer, the roof is to repair, the house
wall is re-plastered, the windows, doors or the fence are painted, the
flowers are watered or the lawn is mowed. In autumn, the leaves must be raked
together, apples, pears and fruits, berries, nuts and vegetables must be
harvested. In winter, one should assume, a quieter time will come. But no!
Noises can then be heard from the garage or the attic. In spring, the earth,
hardened by ice and cold, has to be loosened and prepared for the next
sowing. And when do these hard-working
ants and bees rest to enjoy the fruits of their labor, the garden and the house?
Never! They seem tireless. Even when visitors arrive, they have to follow the
hustle and bustle of the host from the terrace. Of course, the hard-working
from afar perks up his ears and records the praise he deserves with obvious
satisfaction. Often there is a real competition among the neighbors as to
which of them has the most beautiful garden, the matching house, gazebo or
even a small pond. As our walker strolls through the
rows of houses, past the fences of this paradise on earth, he is followed by
the barking of larger and smaller guards, who sometimes reveal his arrival
with wagging tails or even growling, alerted by one of the neighboring dogs
and alarming the next . During the barking concert, curtains move here and
there, especially on the kitchen window, to find out who the interested
intruder is who dares to disturb the quiet monotony. Whose curiosity is
satisfied here? The hiker through strange
paradise gardens slowly goes home to his small rented apartment. This
afternoon was not bad for an excursion and a dream, but next weekend he will
be going to the mountains and in three weeks to a bigger lake for rowing. |
