After several false 22 , I had to examine it and finally got our old lawn mower
23 . I was mowing and trying hard to push the machine uphill, which was really a hard job, for the machine was too old to work well. I was so 24 that I complained under my breath, so I decided to take a short break.

"Like it, Mom? It's mine and it's for you." he asked with a big 40 .

"Now I'll finish the job."
