And now it's time for who's smarted.

P. Hey, Smarty Pants, question, do you live in a house?

And if you do, does that house have a patch of grass,

aka a lawn, in front of it?

Behind it, or both?

If so, have you ever wondered, what's the purpose of lawns?

After all, isn't there something more interesting you could put there?

Now wait just a second, if people didn't have lawns, I'd be out of a job.

And, um, who are you?

Larry the lawnmower. And this is my turf. Literally.

I see. But I also don't see.

What's the point of lawns? I mean, wouldn't it be more fun if all this flat green space was filled with flowers or a vegetable garden or a hedge maze?

A hedge maze? No thanks. You could get lost. Plus, I'm claustrophobic. It's bad enough being cooped up in a garage all winter.

Anyway, there's lots of reasons people have lawns. Let's take a little trip to learn more. Hop on!

Well, you are a riding mower.

Here goes.

Whoa, seems like I'm not the only one with a time travel app. Where are we? And when are we?

We're in England in the 16th century and you're riding on one of the first ever lawns.

Isn't she a beaut?

To be honest, I'm more impressed by the cool castle over there.

That castle is why people have lawns in the first place.

Well, not that specific castle, castles in general.
