a few animals there.
One of our new neighbors
ducks. They seemed very lovely; however, they were
to run around in their yard and the neighbors’ yards—
ours. Our vegetables were their favorite food. Often we would “shoo” the ducks home and want to know
_ there wasn’t a fence to keep them.
One day, I asked her if she
her ducks were bringing trouble to my garden. She told me that they were her
_ and he was away traveling. My attitude （态度） to her was bad. We realized that our neighbors were not planning to build a
, so our son built one .The ducks now stayed in their own yard. I didn’t see my neighbor again
months later.
A women’s church group asked me to
at their mother and daughter party. The topic was “Love”. Much to my
，the first woman I saw when I walked into the church was my neighbor. I knew I could not speak about love to them when I hadn’t been
__ my neighbor. So I walk
to her and said sorry for my attitude. She forgave（原谅）me and then we talked a lot
_ .
