Bill and his family has been living in the six－family building for years. All the neighbors got
along fairly well with each other until recently.
An old man and his wife used to live on the second floor. Bill's mother and the old lady were
good friends. Unfortunately the lady died last month. Her husband could not live alone, so he had
his grandson move over and live with him.
The grandson has become a problem to all the neighbors, especially to Bill's family. The walls
of the buildin g are thin and he is noisy. Bill is used to peace and quiet but the young man likes to
listen to the radio late at night. Sometimes friends of his visit and they make a lot of noise. That is
too much for Bill's family.
Bill's mother once asked the old man politely if he was able to sleep well at night, but obviously
the man didn't understand what she meant. If he did and spoke to his grandson, the young man
obviously didn't listen, since things haven't changed any. Everyone in Bill's family agrees that
something must be done though they don't want to hurt the kind old man.
