A Kind Neighbor Mr. and Mrs. Jones apartment was full of luggage, packages, furniture and boxes. Both of them were very busy when they heard the doorbell ring. Mrs. Jones went to open it and she saw a middle-aged lady outside. The lady said she lived next door. Mrs. Jones invited her to come in and apologized because there was no place for her to sit. Oh, thats OK. said the lady. I just come to welcome to your new home. As you know, in some parts of this city, neighbors are not friendly at all. They are some apartment houses where people dont know any of their neighbors, not even the ones next door. But in this building, everyone is very friendly with everyone else. We are a big happy family. I am sure you will be very happy here. Mr. and Mrs. Jones said, But madam, we are not new dwellers in this apartment. Weve lived here for two years. We are moving out tomorrow. 14 That Isnt Our Fault Mr. and Mrs. Williams got married when he was twenty-three, and she was twenty. Twenty-five years later, they had a big party, and a photographer came and took some photographs of them. Then the photographer gave Mrs. Williams a card and said, Theyll be ready next Wednesday. You can get them from studio. No, Mrs. Williams said, please send them to us. The photographs arrived a week later, but Mrs. Williams was not happy when she saw them. She got into her car and drove to the photographers studio. She went inside and said angrily, You took some photographs of me and my husband last week, but Im not going to pay for them. |
