The professor’s house，big and untidy，stood alone at one end of a huge garden.The place was totally uncared for, quite         and overgrown with all sorts of useless things. I      my way through bushes and tall weeds to the front door and rang the bell.
I was glad that I had found him. In twenty minutes he         me right on all the       that had puzzled me. I was on the          of leaving when I looked out of his study window and said, “You’re very fond of gardening, I see.”
“No, I’m not,”  he said. “     , I love this garden, though. It’s          I always wanted it to be. I never touch it at all.”
“It could be made lovely. It         a pity to let all this ground go to waste. But perhaps you don’t          that way?” said I.
“I don’t. I lived here when I was a child, and I had         of gardening then. It was my father’s hobby，you see. Unfortunately, he wasn’t          enough to do it himself. My brother and I did all of it between us year after year. There was one right way and many wrong ways. Each blade (叶片) of grass was an enemy to be         by hand, not just cut off. I’ve spent a good part of life at work here.”
“I see. You took a dislike to it, and now you’re getting even!”
“I dislike it. Then, of course, I didn’t understand the         it had. It used to      me. It appeared in my dreams—a mistake here, something not quite straight here, the enemy showing its head in a place I was          to have cleaned. The work was too much. It seemed endless. The size of the place was itself a fight to a boy.”
“And now it’s yours，you’re just letting it go to...”
“         ?” he said. “No，I don’t agree with that. This garden and I are now the best friends. I like        it grow       its own way. I make no demands on it. I never disturb it, and it never disturbs me. It has       at last, and so have I.”
“But the path is over grown. It’s inconvenient for you，isn’t it?”
“That’s part of my      ,” he laughed. “You can go out the back way. The weeds are shorter there because they don’t get the sun.”
