"What's the matter, Bob?" asks Mrs. White, "Why do you look so sad?"
"Mum, I wish we can stay in New York. I have many friends there .We are new here, and I have no friend now." Bob says.
"You will soon make friends here," says Mrs. White, "Wait and see!" At this time, someone is knocking at the door. Mrs. White opens it .A woman with a nice smile stands there.
"Hello," she says, "I'm Mrs. Green, I live next door." "Come in, please," says Mrs. White, "Bob and I are so glad to see you. Do you want any help?" "Yes, I come here to ask for two eggs," says Mrs. Green, "I want to make a cake." "You may have the eggs," says Mrs. White, "but please sit down. Let's have coffee and talk a little, OK?"
In the afternoon, someone knocks at the door again. Mrs. White opens it. There stands a boy with a nice smile.
"My name is Tom," he says, "Mother gives you this cake and these two eggs."
"Well, thank you, Tom." Says Mrs. White, "Come in and meet my son, Bob." The two boys are about the same age.
"Let's play football, OK?" says Bob, "I have a little dog. It will play with us. " Tom finds it fun to play football. Soon they have great fun playing football.
"I'm glad you live next door," says Bob, "Now I have someone to play together." "I'm glad your mother wants two eggs," says Bob.
"She doesn't really want the eggs," Tom laughs, "She just wants to make friends with your mother!"
Then Bob laughs, too. "That's a funny way to make friends," he says, "but it's a nice way."
