to admit that i took a few other things and hope you wouldnt mind.”sharon couldnt think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so.“oh,but you did,” the neighbour said.“you had some of the prettiest zucchini ive ever seen.”sharon was confused.zucchini in her garden?they hadnt even planted any zucchini.but her neighbour insisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in sharons garden.sharons curiosity got the better of her and she had to go and see where the zucchini had grown.the two of them walked together into the backyard.when the neighbour pointed at the long green vegetables,sharon smiled.“well,actually,those are cucumbers that we never harvested,because they got too big,soft and bitter for eating or canning.”the neighbour looked at sharon,shock written all over her face.then,she smiled,and held out the bread that she had shared all over the neighbourhood.“i brought you a loaf of cucumber bread.i hope you like it.”1.why
