Yellow spiders ran when we turned rocksover and pale worms blind and afraid of light rolled over in their sleep. Pokeastick in the sandy soil and a few blue-skinned beetles would appear, an avenueof ants, so many crusty lady bugs. This was a garden, a wonderful thing to lookat in the spring. But bit by bit, after the monkey left, the garden began totake over itself.
Flowers stopped obeying the little bricksthat kept them from growing beyond their paths. Weeds mixed in. Dead carsappeared overnight like mushrooms. First one and then another and then a paleblue pickup with the front windshield missing. Before you knew it, the monkeygarden became filled with sleepy cars.
翻开石头，就会有黄色的蜘蛛逃窜出去，畏光且无明的苍白蠕虫在它们的沉睡中翻卷起来。用一根小棍插进沙土里，就会出来几只蓝色的甲虫。还有一路蚂蚁，还有那么多的壳儿脆脆的瓢虫。这是一个花园，看着它，是春天里的一件赏心乐事。可是，慢慢地，从猴子走后，花园就开始自作主张了。
花儿不再规矩地待在防止它们长过小径的小砖头后面，野草混了进来。废弃的小汽车像菇一样一夜之间就冒了出来。先是一辆，又来了一辆，然后是那辆没了挡风玻璃的浅蓝色皮卡车“。不知不觉，猴子花园里充满了沉睡的汽车。
