One of my favorite short stories is by Ray Bradbury. It's among other things about the joy associated with the smell of freshly cut green grass.
Well, for poor Erik it wasn't any joy to cut grass today. The grass had grown too tall to cut with the push lawn mower. Nonetheless, Erik put a lot of labor and muscle in to pushing the machine but to no avail. Needless to say, Erik was very happy when the neighbor came over and offered to lend out his electric lawn mower. Erik didn' even have to think twice before accepting the offer.
