One day, he put in a new window [přidal nové okno]. He wanted more sunlight in the restaurant. Mr. Jenkins wanted the diner to be welcoming. So, he put in a lot of time and energy [Vložil do toho spoustu času a energie.].

Emily went often to the diner. She liked the changes. Emily was always busy with something. She put in extra hours [odpracovala hodiny navíc] for a dream trip. Finally, she put in a request  [podala si žádst] for her vacation.

Spring finally arrived. Mr. Jenkins decided to put in some flower beds [založit květinový záhon s květinami]. He wanted the flowers outside the diner. He enjoyed putting in time  [rád věnoval čas] to care for the plants.

One evening, Emily went to the diner. She wanted to take out her favorite meal [odnést si své opblíbené jídlo]. She was in a hurry. She needed to take out some money [vybrat si trochu peněz] from the ATM. The money was for her upcoming trip. She saw the new flowers. She complimented Mr. Jenkins on his hard work.

The next week, Mr. Jenkins had a problem with his fridge. He needed to take out [vyndat] the faulty motor. It needed a new one. He worked hard. He put in the fridge [lednici sem dal] years ago. He fixed it in time for the lunch rush.

Mr. Jenkins put love and care [věnoval lásku a pěčí] into the diner. Emily put in time and energy [věnovala čas a energii] for her dream trip.
