The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that just planted or one that is already in place.In June of the plant's first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it's time to shape the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In winter the bushes don't grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. By the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it's popular in many parts of the world.16.

I have had it for five years. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift. I have read it many times since then.

Nils must improve in order to change back to his normal size.My favourite scene in the book is when Nils and a white goose(鹅) on his family farm join a group of wild geese(大雁). The wild geese are not pleased at all to be joined by a boy and a farm goose. The farm goose has to prove he can fly like the wild geese and Nils has to prove that he is useful.
