The trees arrived by post, a half-open parcel . They were thin and straight, rather like arrows but with shiny leaves at one end and muddy roots at the other. Terry and his father took them down the garden and planted them in their prepared places . Terry had great hopes of the middle tree, now set in the holy spot where Henry, his cat run over, had been laid to rest a year before. The nine trees made an avenue(大街) down one side of the garden, where there was already a fifteen-foot stone wall between the garden and the backyards of the Jenkins Street houses.
“Why do we want a mw of trees as well as a wall?” Terry asked his father.
His father said, “For privacy(隱私) .These trees grow very thickly. ”
His father's love of privacy often puzzled Terry, who was not one to keep himself to himself, but he could see part of the point here. The houses in Jerkins Street were on higher ground. His friend Leslie lived in number twelve, and Leslie had only to stand on a box to see right over the wall.
“Will the trees grow higher than the wall? ”Terry asked then. “Oh, yes, twice, as high if not more. It'll take a few years but they'll grow.”
So they were going to have nine trees thirty feet tall, to keep them from being overlooked(俯視) . Terry wondered why this was so desirable (值得做的) . He said, “Our garden is very pretty. Why can't we let the people over the wall see it? That wouldn't be showing off, would it?”
“'No, I don't think it would be, ”his father said, “yet some people might feel a bit less happy if they can always see a good thing that is not theirs. We don't want to be the cause of any jealousy(嫉妒) if we can help it.”
This consideration for other people's feelings must be a grown-up thing, Terry thought. It was not his idea of how to run things. He said, “These trees seem a lot of trouble to stop people being jealous of us.”
His father looked at him. “It isn't much trouble, Terry. ”he said. “These trees will grow without help from us. They'll be beautiful. And listen to them. You can already hear them whispering to us in the wind. ”
