Grandpa was happy about his vegetable garden. He did some work there every day. He took out the weeds and put water on the plants. He grew good vegetables all the time.

爷爷对他的菜园很满意。 他每天都在那里工作。 他除去杂草，给植物浇水。 他一直种的蔬菜都很好。

One day he put in some carrot seeds and peas. He gave them water and they grew big.

一天，他放了一些胡萝卜籽和豌豆进去。 他给他们水，他们长大了。

Soon Grandpa saw that the carrots didn't look right. Then he picked some pea pods and found there were no peas inside! How could this happen? It was a mystery!

很快，爷爷发现胡萝卜看起来不对劲。 然后他摘了一些豌豆荚，发现里面没有豌豆!这是怎么发生的? 这是一个谜!

Grandpa was very sad. His garden had never been like this before! Something wasn't right! He didn't know what to do about it. How could he stop bad things from happening? His garden didn't look good anymore.

爷爷很伤心。他的花园从来没有这样过!有点不对劲!他不知道该怎么办。 他怎么能阻止坏事的发生呢? 他的花园不再好看了。

One day Grandma found out what was happening. She saw their grandson, Georget going to the garden. The next day Grandma saw him going that way again. He had a can of water in his hand. She watched him through the kitchen window.

一天，奶奶发现了发生的事情。 她看见他们的孙子乔治特向花园走去。 第二天，奶奶又看见他走那条路。 他手里拿着一罐水。 她透过厨房的窗户看着他。
