"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 friends now
"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, 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, OK? "
In the afternoon, someone knocks at the door again. Mrs White opens it. There stands a boy with a nice smile.
"My name's Tom," he says. "Mother gives you this cake and these two eggs.
"Well, thank you, Tom, 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."
