thank you for translating that story, it was so cute! also it leads me to wonder- is there a previous story where Gyro catches Gladstone gardening at night?
answered:
Not that I know of, Anon. I have read, however, that there is a kind of very loose ‘prequel’ to this story, where Gladstone gets a plant as a gift from Grandma Duck, and realizes that caring for it made him happy, hence his interest in gardening grew.
I actually read that prequel, can’t recall the title, but indeed Gladstone gets a plant as a gift. At first he hates the work and the blisters on his hand caused by the work, but as soon as the plant begins to bloom, he begins to enjoy gardening. However, he only does it during the night, because he doesn’t want people to see him work. Gyro catches Gladstone accidentally during a night walk, and he agrees not to tell anyone, such sweet guys..
