(Jughead): Arch, tell Betty the "Tomato Surprise" story!
(Betty): "Tomato Surprise"
(Archie): Yeah! It seems that every year my dad tries to grow tomatoes in a little
garden and he really works hard at it! He buys all kinds of plant food to
feed them!
.....................

(Jughead): So, your plants pig out again, eh Mr. A?
(Archie): Yes! Those little leafy guys eat better than we do!
(Archie’s father): Okay, scoff if you must, but THIS year I,m going to have a successful
garden!
Yes! These are their favorite stories: "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn", "The
Grapes of Wrath" and "Splendor in The Grass"
Here's a list of instructions on how to take care of them"
(Archie): Okey, dad! Don't worry, I'll take good care of your garden while
you´re away!
(Archie’s father): Do you have the number where to reach me in case they get sick?
(Archie): Yes, dad! Don't worry!
........................
So, a few days later...

(Jughead): You have to read to them? Couldn't you just show them video Tapes?
(Archie): These plants should have bloomed by now!
These are even more pitiful than last years! Dad goofed again!
(Jughead): I don't know why he has such trouble growing tomatoes!
My uncle Ned has a large farm just outside town. And he grows
beautiful tomatoes!
(Archie): Jug, do you think your uncle would sell me one or two plants?
(Jughead): I don't know we could ask him!
(Archie): We could transplant them here! Dad would be so happy!
(And so, we went to Jug's uncle's and bought some blooming plants)

................................
(Archie): How do you like these, mom?
(Archie's mother): Oh, Archie, they're beautiful! You'd better hurry and transplant
them! Your dad called from the airport! He's on his way!
(Jughead): We finished just in time! Your dad just arrived!
(Archie's father): I´m almost afraid to ask how my garden turned out!
(Archie): Dad, you'll love it! You'll really be amazed!
(Archie's father): I will?
(Jughead): Well, what do you think of THOSE tomatoes, Mr. A.?

.................................
(Betty): I'll bet your dad was really surprised!
(Jughead): He sure was! Right, Arch?
(Archie): Yeah..
You see, it seemed that he had given up on planting tomatoes...
....so THIS YEAR he had planted PETUNIAS!
