Long in the Toothless

"Allow Mrs M to see the end of her garden again" sounded like an exciting adventure into a dense jungle to Kash and Sevan. Alas, in reality the promised head height blades of grass only reached half way up their shins. Still, there was a little bit of adventure in store for them.

Mrs M told them that she'd been meaning to buy a new lawnmower. For now, they'd have to make do with her existing one that was over 20 years old. Kash and Sevan waited to see what would arrive and after a few minutes Mrs M produced a little green monster. She said to flip it over and pointed out that one of its 3 teeth was missing and they saw a second was chipped too. Mrs M gave them a temporary blue crown for the missing tooth, but it didn't sit properly and immediately flew off.

Sevan started chopping the longer grass and shears while Kash got to grips with the one toothed mower. The little monster did a pretty good job of taking down the blades of grass and spitting the cuttings out all across the garden. Kash had a hard time of it though as the mower was vibrating like crazy, making it hard to hold and control. Sevan raked up the cuttings and found 2 of the monster's teeth on the grass. Then the 3rd long lost tooth was discovered too, all three broken at the fixing point, completing the set of extractions.

After 30 minutes the grass was cut and bagged, so the duo moved on to weeding the back of the garden. Without any digging tools available, Kash used the vibrations in her arms from the lawnmower to hand pull weeds, while Sevan dug out dandelions using the blades of his shears.

After an hour the weeds were bagged up too and Mrs M's garden was ready for spring. Her lawnmower on the other hand, well, it was only ready for retirement.
