David and his sister Mia were playing in the garden when they saw a moving truck next door. A new family was moving in. Mia said, “Let’s go say hello.” They walked over and met Lily, a girl their age. Lily had just moved from another city. “Do you want to play with us?” David asked. Lily smiled and said, “Yes, I’d love to.” They played hide and seek for hours. Later, their parents also met and talked. Everyone was happy to have a new friend in the neighborhood.
