Invite Vance to draw a fountain. Invite Vance to play tag or draw a pumpkin on the wall.

Dear Gregory,
You could invite Vance to come over and ask him to paint with you.
Sincerely, Sam
Dear Gregory,
Just put up a roof over the burned building so your garden won’t get wet. Get your uncle to help you put the roof in.
Sincerely, David K
Dear Gregory, You could tell Uncle Max about your garden and show it to him. You could also ask him what vegetable or fruit he would like to see in the garden, maybe he would like it?
Sincerely, Mairin
Dear Gregory,
I think you should let people pay to see the garden. Build a roof and get electricity. You could buy your uncle a house Sincerely, Christian

Dear Gregory,
You could ask your Uncle Max to help you add more to your garden. He might appreciate you more if he knew what you were doing and how good you are. Well I have to go now, bye.
