Luke doesn't mind that there are no _______. In fact, he likes living a fruit-and-vegetable farm much better. He feels it's magical that his vegetable to _______ something in the place where there used to be nothing.
"I’m planting _______ today, son. " Luke's father said. "They grow best in hot summer heat, _______ I need to plant them early in spring. That way there will be tall, healthy tomato vines(藤)once August arrives."
"How do you _______ they grow tall and healthy?" Luke asked.
"The vines grow strong when you give them care and attention and have a little bit of hope," his father laughed.
"Can I help?" Luke begged.
"Of course!" said his father
So when Luke was _______, he helped his father and Luke learned that a tomato plant does need much _______. He spent one whole day in the early June sun, hitting wooden sticks into the ground by young tomato plant. After the tomato vines had grown a little taller, Luke _______ the tomato vines to the sticks so that they would not fall over.
"The tomatoes _______ need a lot of attention!", Luke said one late afternoon.
"Most ________things do require a lot of attention, Luke," replied his father with a smile.
"What do you mean?" asked Luke.
"Well," his father said." We should pay close attention to things that make our lives better."
"That is ________ you pay attention to Mom?" asked Luke.
"Yes," replied his father, "I pay close attention to you and Mom because you both make my ________better."
The rest of Luke's work that day went ________ a lot quicker. Taking care of the tomato plants, Luke ________ he was taking care of his mom and dad.
