The bell rang loudly. Everybody packed their school bags and got ready to go home. When the teacher dismissed the children, they lined up in two rows and walked orderly to the school gate.
Usually, George’s mother would take him home from school. But today she was not there. George waited for fifteen minutes before he walked home.
When he reached home, he knocked at the door as he did not bring his keys. To his surprise, no one opened the door. George thought his mother was in the toilet, so he waited for his mother. After a few minutes there was still no answer. Just as he was about to go to the nearby coffee shop where his father worked to get the keys, he heard the friendly voice of his neighbor, John.
George told John that no one was at home and John’s mother suggested (建议) that George could stay in their house till his mother came back. George and John played happily till evening when George’s mother came back. George thanked John and his family before he went back into his house. His mother told him that she had a backache and she had to see a doctor. From this experience, George learnt an important lesson, “Neighbors are people who help each other.”
