He dragged the long lumpy sack into the garden and paused, looking around he moved to the centre and started measuring carefully when he finished he lifted the heavy sack and placed it exactly in the centre. He lifted a shovel and began to dig he felt it was important to get it right not too close to the surface that would be disastrous but not too deep either that would defeat the purpose. At last he covered it with earth and stone and with a weary sigh stood back well satisfied with his work.
He returned to the kitchen took a can out of the fridge and watched the garden as he began to drink. Sure enough after a few minutes one of the dogs walked across, then an early bird landed, and just as he was turning away the milkman came up the path. He grinned he had got it exactly right someone would be walking all over her all day. Time for a shower it had been a long night.
