My parents were busy inside our new house. So was my sister. She was excited about fixing up(装饰) her new bedroom. I was sad and lonely because I didn't have any friends here.
I decided to go for a ride in the neighborhood. When I was passing by an amazing garden, I saw an old lady there. She was doing something with a plant. It seemed that she was digging it up. The plant had some red flowers. Why would anyone dig up such a beautiful plant? I stopped my bike and decided to find out the reason.
I smiled and said to the old lady, "Hello, I'm Nora. I am new here. I love your garden."
The old lady smiled back and said, "Hello, Nora. You can call me Mrs Paz. You must be my new neighbor. I'm happy to see a new family move in. This plant is for your yard. I have dug it up, but I don't know how I will be able to carry it."
"My bike can do it. The plant will fit right here," I said to Mrs Paz, pointing to the basket in the front of my bike.
We laughed together. Mrs Paz continued, "Look at that plant. That one is for Mrs Alba in the house next to yours. It is a surprise for her birthday. Could you please help me to take it to her?" I agreed happily.
That was how I made my first new friend. I was looking forward to my new life here.
