Voice 1: When I moved to a new home, I planted a garden. In my garden I planted many colorful flowers and vegetables. I cared for my garden. I poured water on it and pulled out all the bad plants. My garden grew very well. But one day, I saw some children near my beautiful garden. I went to the window and saw that they were stepping on the plants. I went outside and told them to leave. When I looked at my garden, I saw their footprints² in the soil. I saw the marks of their feet. They crushed³ my flowers. They ruined my garden.
