Every Thursday morning Horo got up very early and went to the "Green Meadow". The Green Meadow was a large park that was near Horo's house. There he worked - for free - as a gardener and tended the flowers and the grass. Horo loved nature and once a week he checked that everything was going well. As always, he did his job before school started. But this time something was different. Just as Horo was done with his work and was about to make his way to school, a coin fell out while he was putting on his jacket. She rolled into a bush and Horo quickly ran after her. He pushed the bushes aside with both hands and walked through. He immediately discovers his coin on the floor, which he immediately picked up. Suddenly he froze. What he saw before his eyes took his last breath away. Directly in front of his nose was a small garden, which was decorated with countless colorful flowers. They were planted in a spiral and in the center of the spiral Horo discovered a white bench.That's beautiful ...Suddenly he was torn from his dream by a voice.
"Morning, Horo!"
Startled, Horo turned around and looked into a familiar face.
"Morning, Mr. Takeshi!"
Mr. Takeshi was the owner of the green field and already knew Horo very well.
"Well, have you already done your job?" The gardener asked him kindly.
"Yes. Say ... what kind of garden is this? I've never seen it before."
"It's not easy to find either. This garden belongs to a young lady, around your age. Her parents used to do me a big favor and out of gratitude I gave the girl this little piece of land. She is also very enthusiastic about it of nature, just like you. "
"Did the garden look like this before?"
"No. She planted the garden herself."
"Does she come here often?" Asked Horo, interested.
"To be honest, I don't know. The garden is hers and I don't always look in here.""What's her name?"
Mr. Takeshi laughed out loud.
"You seem to be really interested in her. But unfortunately I have to disappoint you, Horo. I am not allowed to reveal her name. She asked for it. Actually, I promised her that I would make sure that no one enters the garden . But this time I'll make an exception for you. "
"Why can't you reveal your name?"
"I don't know. Maybe she just wants some peace and quiet ... Anyway, I have to get back to work now. See you then!"
"Bye," said Horo thoughtfully.
I would like to know who this mysterious girl is ...
On the way to school, Horo thought of this girl.What does it look like?Immediately he shook his head.It's just a perfectly normal girl with a garden. What's the matter with you Horo?While he was still struggling with himself, he accidentally bumped into Tamao, whose books were already falling on the floor again."Sorry."
"No probl…"
Suddenly Tamao couldn't utter a sound.It's Horo! Stay calm. Don't stutter, Tamao. Introduce yourself, go!
"H-hello, my name is Tamao Tamamura."
"Hello. Here are your books. See you then, bye!"
And suddenly Horo was gone. Tamao looked after him for a long time.He can't remember me at all ...
"Hey Tamao!"
Tamao turned in the direction from which the voices had come and saw her classmates.
"Hi!", Tamao greeted them.
"And do you have any plans for today?"
"No, why? Are you going to go shopping again?"
Tamao smiled and winked at her classmates. They started to laugh.
"Of course, what else? And do you feel like it?"
"Yes, very much! But unfortunately I have to disappoint you ..."
"Do you have to go back to your garden?"
"Yeah, I didn't have time to check it out last week. Sorry, I can't today."
"Never mind.""But we can do that again tomorrow," said Tamao with a grin.
"Good idea! We'll do that."
Everyone laughed as they walked down the hall. But Tamao's laugh faded again.Why can't I talk so relaxed in Horo's presence? Whenever I see him, I can't utter a sensible word. Even though I see him every day!
