I will back soon" said Mr. Winfred while taking the copper box. "Ok Mr. Winfred. We will wait here. Mr. Winfred can take the time. No need to rush" said Captain smiling. Mr. Winfred smiled and left the room to put the box. Captain and Anne sat at wood chair waiting for Mr. Winfred. "After this we have to eat lunch Captain. I think the others already finished their lunch. Are they wait for us or continue to plant flowers, Captain?" asked Anne. "I think they continue to plant the flowers, Anne. I hope they plant the flowers neatly" said Captain. "Yes I hope so Captain" said Anne. After Mr. Winfred put the cooper box at his room, Mr. Winfred goes to find his workers. "Eaton and Kalem go to my office to move that big bucket to outside cart before move the cart at the back, tell the attendants to prepare lunch for three then ask the other workers to help making a big hole at empty spot of the backyard to bury the unused stones and soil" said Mr. Winfred.
