For years I wanted a flower garden. I would spend hours thinking of the different things I could     that would look nice together.
But then I had five lovely children: Matthew and Marvin, the twins Alisa and Alan, and then Helen. I was too      raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight (紧的) ，as well as time. When my children were little, if they wanted something that      too much I’d have to say, “Do you see a money      outside? Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five got through high school and college, and started living on their own. And I started thinking again about having a      .
One spring morning, on Mother’s Day, I      the window and was surprised to see a new tree in my yard. I put my glasses on and I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There was as much as one hundred      on that tree. All I could think of was all the garden flowers I could      with that money! There was also a(an)      attached(附上): “ Love, Marvin.”
My other      had bought me tools, ornaments(装饰物) and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden is now very     , just the way I wanted.
I’m still not sure whether money      on trees. But I know love does!
