A client thanks the gardener for his good work

— Thanks for all your hard work. The yard looks fantastic, and it's nice to have the bushes trimmed. I was wondering if you could do me a small favor?
— I'll try, ma'm.
— Could you please hold this check until Thursday. I don't get paid 'til then, and I don't want it to bounce.
— Sure, no problem. I know how it is with a bounced check. We'll both have to pay fees. Tell you what, I'll hold it until Saturday, just to be safe.
