Walk the tree

The unexpected cold has destroyed the buds on Frank's young peach tree two years in a row. This spring, he was ready.

He replanted the sapling in a large box, mounted it on wheels and put the tree in the garage whenever the temperature dropped.

One warm April day, Frank wheeled his tree out into the yard and he stopped to give his dog a drink from the garden hose.

A neighbour, who was out in the garden, watched the scene with amusement.

"Frank," the neighbour finally commented,

"You're the only man I know who

walks the tree
and
waters his dog. "
