Anna's Big Mistake: George's garden was completely destroyed!⚠️😱 | Slow English (Level A2) |

It's working! I feel like I forgot something. The water is still running! Oh no! What happened here? Good morning! I'm glad you're all here today. Good morning, George. Anna, come here. I have a special job for you today. Really? What do I get to do? This irrigation system is old, so we always need to use it carefully. Okay, I'll be careful. When the watering is finished, remember to close this valve completely. I understand. I'll remember. I promise I won't forget. Good. Being responsible means remembering the promises we make. I will, Dad. Finish your job first, and then you can explore the garden. Okay, Mom. I will. It's working! Look at all those butterflies! Wait for me, butterflies! Butterflies! That should do it. We're finished for today. Great. Everything looks good. Great. Everything looks good. It was a productive morning. Anna, it's time to go. Coming dad. All right, everyone. Let's head home. What a lovely morning. That was fun So Anna, how did your special job go? It went fine dad Everything's okay. I feel like I forgot something. Oh, no, what happened here? The water is still running. Come on. Shut off easy. Stay upright. You might still be okay These were for the fundraiser Max I need your help at the garden. There's water everywhere. Please come as soon as you can. George! This is much worse than I expected. What happened to the garden? The valve. I forgot the valve. George, do you know what caused all this? I'm trying to figure that out. This connection is badly worn. The old system may have finally failed. That would explain the leak. Old equipment can fail sometimes. Maybe no one is to blame. That's possible. Come on, little plants. Let's see if we can save you. I'm sorry. Anna, are you okay? Yes, Mom. I'm fine. Anna, did you notice anything unusual here yesterday? I'm going to help with the plants. Make the channel a little wider here. Got it. The water is starting to move. Hold the plant steady while I fix the soil. Okay, Mom. Some of these roots stayed underwater too long. I'm afraid a few plants may not recover. Can't we save them? We'll do everything we can. We were going to sell these plants at the fundraiser to support the garden. Then losing them could really hurt the project. They're getting worse, aren't they? Some plants are still struggling, but we haven't given up. The repair is going to cost much more than I expected. That's a lot for the garden to handle. We may not have enough money to repair the irrigation system. And replace all the plants we lost. There isn't enough money? I think we should use some of our savings to help George repair the garden. If the garden really needs it, we should help, but that's a big expense. I'll take the money to George tomorrow. They're going to use our savings. Because of what happened, I should have told them the truth right away. Anna, you've been very quiet. Is there something you want to tell me? I don't know. I'm just sad about the plants, Mom. That's all. Okay. I'm here whenever you're ready to talk. You don't have to tell me anything before you're ready, but keeping a secret can make it feel heavier every day. I'm taking the money to George today. Mm-hmm. So he can start repairing the irrigation system. That should help him get the garden running again. Max, please do not give that money to George. Why not? Anna, why are you so upset about the money? I just need to go. Anna knows something about what happened. Sorry, all of this happened because I forgot one thing. George, we want to help with the most urgent repairs. Please let us support the garden. Max, you really don't have to do this. No, Max. You shouldn't have to pay for an accident that wasn't your fault. I know, but the garden still needs help. The most important thing now is saving the garden. Please take it. You're very generous, Max. I can't let this happen. Everyone! I forgot to close the water valve that day. When I came back and saw the garden flooded... Anna, so I didn't tell anyone. Anna, why didn't you tell us sooner? We spent days trying to understand what happened. I was scared, Dad. Just tell us the truth now. At first, I was afraid everyone would be angry with me. Then every day I waited made it harder to tell the truth. That's why telling the truth early matters. Everyone makes mistakes, Anna. Mistakes can be forgiven. But if you had told us sooner... I understand, George. I'm sorry. The connection is secure now. Good. Let's test it carefully. The soil is looking much better. I'll check the valve twice before we leave. Are you sure this time? Yes, and if I ever make a mistake again, right away. That's what responsibility looks like. We're proud that you chose to make things right. Thanks for watching the video! Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe to the channel! Do you need anything before you leave? No, I'm good. Does Dad really have another family? I have a lot to finish today, so I'll probably be at the office until late. Alright, just don't overwork yourself. I can't. I packed lunch for you. Please don't work too hard today. Thanks, Ella. I'll be careful. Anna, come play with me! Okay, just for a little while. I'll get there as soon as I can. Dad's car? But he said he was at the office. You came! This is more help than I expected. Don't worry about it. Just focus on what needs to be done. How was work today? This is delicious! Busy. I was at the office all day. Did you finish your little project, Alex? Almost. Thank you. Do you need anything before you leave? No, I'm good. I'll call you back outside. You need to understand what's happening first. Why don't we all have dinner together tonight? I wish I could, but I have to meet an important client. I might be home very late. Maybe tomorrow. Why is he leaving already? I brought you something small. You really didn't have to do that. Hey Sarah! Sarah, good to see you. Hi Max, I'm glad you could make it. Max, you're here! I told you I'd come. Thank you for meeting us. Thank you for meeting us. Stay close, Emma. We'll cross together. Okay, Max. Thank you. Why is Dad so close to her? Does Dad really have another family? Anna, is something wrong? I'm fine. Anna? Anna, why are you mad at dad? Please, Alex, don't ask me right now. Okay, okay. Is something troubling you at school or at home? No, I think I'm just tired. Don't worry. I'll take care of the money. I can't do any more than get down. We could all spend Saturday together. I may have something I need to take care of. I might not be able to come. Of course! Anna? Sweetie, what's wrong? Why are you crying? I can't find Mr. Snuggles. Whatever it is, you can tell me. You don't have to carry it alone. What if telling you changes everything? We'll face it together. When was this photo taken? This is what I saw. It's Max. I need to go out for an urgent meeting. Again? Right now? Yes, I shouldn't be too long. Mom? I'm thinking. Do you really want to know where Dad went? You need to know what's true. Where are you and Anna going? We need to take care of something important. Stay here and be safe, okay? Okay, Mom. His car is really here. I'm sorry, Mom. I wasn't sure what to do. You're not dealing with this alone. We'll figure it out. Max! You're here! Of course, Emma. Are you feeling a little better now? Yes, I'm okay. Mom? Mom? I saw it. This is the amount they asked for. All right. Take this and don't worry about it tonight. Thank you, Max. I really don't know what I would do without your help. You don't have to thank me. Mom. Mom. He would have been so proud of both of you. We just miss him so much, Mom. I'm home. You're late again. You saw me at the hospital. Yes. We did. Who is Sarah? I can explain. Then explain. And the girl? Who is she? Her name is Emma. You even know her name that well. There's a reason. What's going on? I don't know how to explain it yet. Alex, nobody is in danger. We just need the truth. This isn't what you think. Then why did you tell me you were at the office when you weren't? I... The hospital, the envelope, the private calls, the nights you said you were working when you weren't. Which part of that am I supposed to ignore? None of it. Those things happened. Have you been using our family's money to secretly take care of another family? Ella, please. It isn't what you think. Emma is not my daughter. Then who is she? What are you looking for? Something I should have shown you a long time ago. His name was David. He was my best friend for many years. We were like brothers. David became very ill years ago. He passed away. Before that, he asked me to Sarah and Emma if they ever needed help. That was his last request to you? Yes. Sarah was David's wife. Emma is his daughter. Emma has needed hospital care. And Sarah has been having a difficult time, so I've been helping them. Yes. So Emma isn't our sister? No, Alex. No, Alex. Ella? If you weren't betraying us, why did you keep lying to me? I thought I had a reason. A reason isn't the same as honesty. I was afraid you might say no to helping them. I thought my promise to David was mine to carry. And because you carried it alone, the rest of us were left guessing what you were hiding. I know. I'm not angry because you helped Sarah and Emma. I'm hurt because you didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth. You're right. I should have told you. I'm not angry because you helped Sarah and Emma. I'm hurt because you didn't trust me enough to tell me the truth. You're right. I should have told you. David and Max were best friends for many years. They supported each other through everything. I wish I had known sooner. David asked Max to look after Emma and me if we ever needed help. I'm sorry this caused trouble for your family. You have nothing to apologize for. We can still help Emma. I'm taking Sarah and Emma to the hospital. I'll be back before six. And if anything changes, I'll call you. Okay. Thank you for telling me. Is everything okay now? Not completely. But at least we're telling each other the truth now. I'll see you soon. Drive safely. I have always tried to care for this family. Perhaps it is time for me to leave. Strange. Where did these muddy footprints come from? From behind... I have cared for this family for a long time. Maria, please give us a little more time to understand. Thank you for everything you do. Amazing! Maybe I can make a fun video too. This will make my video look so much more exciting. Oh no, the battery is empty. Tea. Mom, may I borrow your phone for just a few minutes? I promise I'll bring it right back. What do you need it for? Could I please use it just this once? Please wait until your tablet is charged. It will not take very long. All right, Mom. Mom? I need to keep my phone nearby. I'm expecting an important work call. We can use it together after I'm finished. Okay, I'll wait. Bye. I'll only use it for a moment, then I'll put it back. I need to be very quiet. I wonder where I left the clean cloths. I'll make the video quickly and come straight back. Just one quick video and then I'll go home immediately. It should work. One more time. Make it better. I missed the last move. That will make the video look beautiful. I couldn't on me. An innocent heart stood there trembling. I need to get home before mom starts looking for me. Wait, where is mom's phone? Oh, my God. It has to be somewhere nearby. I just had it! Anna, are you nearby? Yes, mom. I'm coming inside. Where did I put it? I just had it right here. This is unbelievable. Maria, did you move my phone while you were cleaning? I only lifted it to wipe the table. Anna, have you seen my phone anywhere? No, Mom. I haven't seen it. I remember Maria was cleaning the table earlier. Thank you for remembering. Let's look around together. Yes, I was cleaning, but I haven't seen the phone. After I finished cleaning, I left everything neatly on the table. Thank you. Let's check each step together. I'll try to remember what I saw. I remember seeing Maria go toward the back door with a large household sack. Maria, did you go outside this morning? Only for a moment. Could it have been placed somewhere else by accident? I'll check every area I cleaned this morning. Ella, is everything all right? My phone is missing, and we haven't been able to find it. The phone was on the table, but now it is gone. Let's stay calm. We should search carefully before deciding what happened. Ella and Maria can check the kitchen. Alex and I will search upstairs. Anna, please look around the living room carefully. All right. Anna, are you sure you don't know where the phone is? I already said I haven't seen it. You may check my belongings. I have nothing to hide. Maria, you do not need to prove yourself this morning. We only want to understand what happened. The entrance camera may show who went outside this morning. That could help us understand what happened. I'm opening the entrance recording now. The camera. Maybe the camera was not working this morning. We can check calmly and find out. Why are you so worried about the recording? I only went outside to complete the household task. Anna, why are you saying something different? Everyone should remain calm. I have always tried to care for this family. We might try to hide. Perhaps it is time for me to leave. Nothing feels the same. Maria is being blamed for something she may not have done. Dad, what you know. I'm scared they will be disappointed in me. Telling the truth is the only way to make things right. That's strange. Where did these muddy footprints come from? I'll be downstairs if you need anything. Thanks. I'll come down a little later. I have cared for this family for a long time. Maria, please give us a little more time to understand. We will resolve this calmly. Please wait a little longer, Maria. We still have a way to find out what happened. I want to believe that, but trust cannot be restored immediately. Maybe we should search the house one more time before watching it? Understand the situation clearly. We will watch it together and remain calm. Anna, the recording shows you leaving with the phone. We need you to tell us what happened. I'm disappointed that you did not tell us the truth when we first asked. Take a moment, Anna, then explain what happened honestly. I took the phone without permission and brought it to the park to record my dance. When I came home, I realized it was missing. Thank you for filing us the truth. A phone can be repaired or replaced, but hurting an innocent person's trust is much more serious. Honest actions will help rebuild that trust. I'm glad we could talk. Please show us exactly where you recorded the video so we can search before the daylight fades. I remember the bench. I can take everyone there. I will come and help with the search. I placed the phone here, stood on the grass, and then... Good. We will search. Everyone should stay together and check one section at a time. I'll look beside the flower bed. Check the grass carefully. Look beneath the leaves. I can't find it anywhere. What if someone already found the phone and took it away? I'm sorry, Mom. I made everything worse. We have not finished searching yet. I'm calling the phone now. Listen carefully for any sound. I'll check near the grass and the flowers. Wait! I hear something near the flowers. Everyone come closer, but watch your steps. Show us exactly where you heard it. I found it. The screen is damaged, but the phone is still working. I can't believe it was here the whole time. At least everyone is safe, but I know that does not repair the hurt I caught I caused. Finding the phone solves one problem. I want to use my savings to help repair the phone. I know this responsibility. We appreciate your honesty and willingness. You will take a break from using personal devices while we rebuild trust. What matters most is showing through your actions that you understand what happened. I understand. I'm truly sorry for my mistake. I want to learn to be honest and take responsibility. We all learn by making better choices. Mistakes can be corrected when we tell the truth. A lie can hurt the people who trust us most.
