Uncle Hiroshi gave Tatsuo six rows of flowers to care for, but Tatsuo neglected the plants allowing bugs and weeds to overtake them. As the weather turned cool, most of the plants died from bugs, weeds and a gopher. Tatsuo then cut down the flower rows, burned the weeds, and sold the remaining flowers, earning some money. In the resolution, Tatsuo enjoyed spending some of the money but also saved some of his earnings.
