Question

She paced the work, announcing breaks as necessary; and during these breaks stories were told, games were played and songs were sung. European colonists never learned to sing and play as they gardened (we hope to change that), but otherwise they adopted the native routines virtually intact. They learned to grow native crops in a native fashion, and though they didn't move into bark-covered long houses, their log cabins were almost as easy to erect and be abandoned with no more regret when the time came to move on. For many frontiersmen, that time came as soon as there were no longer trees close enough to the cabin that when felled, the firewood dropped right by the door. Why work harder than you had to? Alas! That blissful innocence couldn't last. Americans began exporting their beautiful native plants to Europe: Unfortunately, the traffic went both ways.

Get yourself a pair of shears, a lawn mower, and flunkies to operate them, advised the horticultural immigrants—they're all laughing at you back home. The immigrant gardener's native-born pupils took this a step farther, sprucing up wasn't enough for them.
