ملخص القصة باللغة العربية:
يَبْني وَلَدٌ رَقيقٌ حَديقَةَ مِزْوَلَةٍ جَميلَةً لِجَدَّتِهِ الكَفيفَةِ حَتَّى يُمْكِنَها أَنْ تَشْعُرَ بِمُرورِ الوَقْتِ مِنْ خِلالِ النَّباتاتِ وَالظِّلالِ. عِنْدَما يُهَدِّدُ مُطَوِّرٌ عَقاريٌّ بِاسْتِبْدالِ الحَديقَةِ بِمَوْقِفٍ لِلْسَّيّاراتِ، يَتَحَدُّ المُجْتَمَعُ بِأَكْمَلِهِ لِحِمايَتِها.
