The old Roger house had been empty for six months, and finally someone was moving in. Betsy didn't see any children getting out of the car, just an older woman in a wheelchair. Betsy thought, "She is going to be lonely by herself." The moving men brought all the furniture into the house. The lady didn't have too many things. Betsy started feeling sorry for her. "Mom, is it alright if I go over to say hello to our new neighbor?" " Why don't you wait until tomorrow?" "Give her a chance to get settled (安顿)."

The next morning they decided to bring some cookies to their new neighbor and introduce themselves. The lady came to the door and said her name was Emily Harris. She invited them into the house. "Please excuse me for the way the house looks," said Miss Harris, "I haven't had much time to put things away and being in a wheelchair makes it twice as hard." Betsy and her mom introduced themselves and stayed only for a short time."We don't want to hold you up,"said Betsy's mom,"If you ever need anything, let us know.""Thanks so much." said Miss Harris.

After breakfast the next day, Betsy decided she wanted to help Miss Harris get settled in.It was Saturday, so she had all day. Betsy really liked Miss Harris. Betsy rang the doorbell but didn' t get an answer. The door was unlocked, so Betsy peeked (窥视) in only to see Miss Harris had tried to reach a shelf and had taken a fall next to her wheelchair. Betsy ran to Miss Harris and asked her if she was alright. "I think I broke my arm," said Miss Harris "  ▲   ，"said Betsy. She ran home and told her mom. They called for an ambulance(救护车). They arrived shortly and took Miss Harris to the hospital.

While Miss Harris was gone, Betsy decided to unpack the boxes that were on the floor and put things away to surprise and help Miss Harris once she returned home. She was going to need a lot of help now that she broke her arm.

When Miss Harris returned home on Sunday, she was surprised by Betsy's hard work. "Thanks a lot, Betsy, "said Miss Harris. "I'm so lucky to have bought this house next to you!" Betsy smiled the biggest smile and said, "Welcome to the neighborhood."
