Answer:
Love Thy Garden
Most of us associate gardening with our <u>grandparents</u>, with <u>people recovering </u>from an illness, or <u>with older folks</u> gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes. <u>Of course,</u> it is not something <u>young </u>people do, right? <u>However</u>, an increasing number of young adults and kids are getting into small-scale farming or gardening. <u>This happens because</u> schools across the country have initiated programs that involve working <u>not only in gardens but also in small community farms.</u> <u>For example,</u> The Edible Schoolyard Project, <u>which was created in 2005 by Alice waters,</u> makes farming fun for young people. <u>In the beginning,</u> Alice wanted to transform a vacant lot into an edible kitchen in her neighborhood school. <u>After 2005</u>, the project blossomed into a nationwide campaign to involve kids in the food-growing and production process. The program lets school kids of varying ages grow <u>their </u>fruits and vegetables. <u>Then</u>, it teaches them interesting and simple recipes. <u>Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food? First</u>, they plant the seed. <u>Then</u>, they watch the plant grow <u>as </u>they take care of it. <u>Finally</u>, they pick the fruits and eat them. <u>Besides</u>, farming has other benefits<u>:</u> it relieves stress and it helps kids stay fit and connect with the community. Gardening or farming can <u>also </u>be fun for adults and teenagers. <u>Thus</u>, people of all ages can enjoy it.

- Grandparents: unification of the concept grandpas and grandmas to get a shorter sentence.
- Sentence 1: Since the first three sentences are closely related, the text flows better by linking them. The repetition of the preposition "with" gives the text a poetical aspect.
- people recovering from an illness/with older folks gently tending to rows of hydrangeas and tomatoes: omission of the expressions "who are"/"We have seen" to make the sentence shorter.
- Of course: to emphasize the claim.
- Young people instead of younger because there is not a comparison between two elements in the same sentence.

- In the beginning/ After 2005: connectors to show the before and after of the project.
- neighborhood school instead of a school in her neighborhood to make the sentence less complex.
- The omission of "own" because it is redundant.
- Then: connector of time to show that the idea follows the food-growing process.
- as: to show simoultaneous ideas
- Can you imagine the joy kids experience in every stage when growing their food?: use of a question to invite the reader to think and make him/her feel part of the text.

Explanation:
It is a series of 1,000 poems, each of which tells a story. If you put together the first line of each of the poems, you get a final story, which is #1001, hence the title. Each of the poems was written by a different Persian poet in the 15th through 18th centuries and later translated into English. Most of them deal with legends from the Mongol Empire that were told by troubadours along the trade routes of Bucharest and Kamchatka
It is a group of stories which are interrupted by "Scherazade saw morning and discreetly fell silent" The following night the story telling begins right after the interruption. The interruptions are based on the length of the story and during some nights 2 or 3 short stories are told. Some of these stories are organized into groups such as "Garden of verses". Many of the stories take place during the time of Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. It is on 1001th night that all the stories have been told. .
