Eliza was a history student. She loved old places and stories. One summer, she came to Giverny to study Claude Monet’s famous garden. She wanted to learn all its secrets.

One sunny morning, she saw a man working in the garden. He was carefully looking at the flowers and the water lilies. He wore a big hat and had kind eyes. His name was Thomas, and he was a gardener there.

Eliza asked him about a special plant. Thomas smiled. "This plant has a long history in Monet's garden," he said. He knew many stories about the garden and about Monet. Eliza listened carefully, surprised by his knowledge.

They started to meet every day. Thomas taught Eliza about the plants, and Eliza shared her history books with Thomas. They walked by the water lily pond and over the Japanese bridge. Their friendship grew slowly, like a beautiful flower.

When summer ended, Eliza had to go back to university. She finished her degree. But her heart stayed in Giverny with Thomas.

One year later, Eliza made a big decision. She moved to Giverny! She wanted to be close to the garden and to Thomas. Thomas was so happy.

One afternoon, as they stood by the water lilies, Thomas took Eliza's hand. "This garden is special," he said. "And you are special. Will you marry me, Eliza?"

Eliza's eyes shone like the water in the pond. "Yes, Thomas!" she whispered.

They married in Giverny. After that, they decided to build their own small garden near their house. As they worked the soil and planted new flowers, they also cultivated their love, letting it grow strong and beautiful, just like Monet's timeless garden.

Now you can do the QUIZ.
