The girl took him to the veranda, filled him with rich soil and planted a tiny
rose inside. “This is a baby rose,” she said to Tucket. “You must help me take
care of her, OK?” Tucket was so happy. The girl really wanted him! She even
asked him to take care of this small rose. Tucket nearly burst with joy. He
straightened himself up proudly as the girl finished planting. She carefully
placed Tucket in the best spot of the veranda. It was a cozy corner, protected
from the wind and the rain. Tucket winked and smiled at his friends in the
garden. “Look, I’m taking care of this little rose!” “We’re very happy for you,
Tucket!” chattered the squirrels, and the birds chirped happily. Tucket took
great care of the rose and was visited by the girl and his friends every day.
He was now the happiest bucket in the world.
