The watermelons were coming out finally and Gus was very excited. Even though he was a garden gnome he had never tasted a watermelon before. It's not that he wasn't interested in watermelons it was just that he usually gave all the watermelons away. This year he was determined to at least taste a watermelon.
He crept into the garden and plucked a nice ripe watermelon off of the vine. He went back to his house and cut the watermelon up into chunks. He remembered Elaine saying that she ate her watermelon with salt. She always said that it made the watermelon taste a little sweeter.
Gus liked the watermelon so much that he ate the whole watermelon by the end of the day. He was so full that he didn't eat dinner. He just shuffled off to bed with a full belly and fell right to sleep in his tiny bed in his little house in the tidy garden on Bloomfield Avenue.
