I'm Worried

Irene and her mother arrived at their neighbor's property.

They were greeted by an elderly couple, owner of the flower garden.

"Ladies and children, welcome to our humble garden!" the couple said in unison.

Adoora smiled brightly. "We're going to buy lots of plants and flowers today," she told them.

"That's good! You will be our first customer for the day! Welcome inside!" the elderly man said cheerfully, very much happy to welcome a customer today because it's already been three days since they have sold anything from their garden. People are no longer interested in cultivating ornamental flowers nowadays. And their business has been struggling since last month.

"Thank you, Adoora, for choosing our garden," the elderly woman said gratefully.

Adoora smiled at the old woman and patted her shoulder gently. "Of course, since you are my nearest neighbor, you will be my first choice for my garden needs," she stated.
