Please help me answer the following problem, I am sooo lost.

Your younger brother is supposed to mow the lawn using a push mower. He reasons from Newton's third law that the mower will push back with the same fore he exerts on the mower; therefore nothing will move and attempting to mow the lawn is pointless. What is wrong with his reasoning?
