Gardner gets pruned

Usually Gardener prunes us once every two weeks. He snips off our brown leaves and stems so that new green ones are encouraged to grow. Today, Gardener got a pruning. Instead of the standard pruning shears he used ones that made a buzzing sound. It was attached to the vacuum cleaner through a long flexible hose. While looking in a tiny mirror he moved the shears all over his head. The vacuum cleaner sucked up most of the clippings; it was a bit like mowing the lawn. I did not think to tell him that he missed a spot on the back of his head.

Gardner gets a pruning; he pruned himself because his crewmates were all busy doing other tasks at the time. I did not think to tell him that he missed a small spot on the back of his head.
