People drank all the time, speed a lot, and always got in to fights. I barely left my apartment it was so bad. I only had 1 friend named Wendell but it was hard to be friends with him because I was black. He just told me about a new market on Gibb street. I decided I needed to go shopping and I would try the new market. That Wendell talked about because it sounded closer. I got my coat on and left. Wow! It was a lot shorter. I turned on to Gibb street. Wow there //was// a garden. I guess Wendell wanted me to see the garden. The garden //was// magnificent. The beautiful flowers //were// followed by heaps of fruits and vegetables. Everyone cared for the garden. I decided I would plant something like everyone else. It //would be// my first garden. Luckily there was a garden shop right across the street. That //was// definitely a good place to locate the shop. I went in and bought a barrel, a shovel and some plants such as eggplants, peppers, carrots, and tomatoes. It took me all day to plant all the plants. Then I went to my apartment and rested the rest of the day. The next day my bucket //was// full all the way to the top. I watered all my plants. About a week later I looked at my garden closely. It was beautiful and in very good shape. I //was// very proud of myself. A half a week later there was a big sale. Lots of people were selling what they grew. I spent at least $30.00. I ate the food in a couple day ﻿ s. The food //was// awesome. A week later the food was ready to be picked. I started picking the food and put them in a bucket. Mmmm the food looked so good. I stopped and left because I was to tired. I picked 3/4 of the food. Just as I left a guy said I will help you. He convinced me to work and we picked all the plants together. Thanks I said. I owed him.I couldn't wait to eat them at home. I went home very happy. As I //was// on the street of the apartment homeless people asked for food. Hmmm it was a hard decision. After 5 minutes I decided I would give the food. The food looked so good but kindness is more important. They watched me leave and enter my apartment. Now they had a weeks supply of food. The next day I helped people with their gardens. I got 5 tomatoes in return. That night //was// the perfect night to go out to eat. I never had food that good.I //went// back home. When I saw my apartment I started to cry. Oh my gosh My apartment was on fire. what should I do. It was too late so I would have to sleep outside. I //was// so cold I couldn't even fall asleep. The next day I //went// to the garden and there //was// a new garden for me. There //was// a sign that said thanks Derrin for the food. "Thanks " I said in a whisper feeling a lot better.
