Am I understood, Mr. Berrington."
     Benny's mind is not on the Mr. Richfield's lecture but on the ivy in the bright red pot. He is wonders in his mind,
if Mr. Richfield lets me have this plant in the bright red pot, I may be able to save it from dying.
     "Mr. Bejamin Franklin Berrington, are you listening to me?" Mr. Richfield scolded sternly interupting Benny's pre-occupation.
     "Oh yes, oh yes I am," Benny answered when heard the change in Richfield's voice, "You said that I should, uhm..."

     "Yes, sir."
