There is an empty house across the tree house. Brother and Sister think about their new neighbors sometimes. Will they be young? Will they be friendly?“Look, our new neighbors are moving in(搬进新居). And they have cubs(小孩),” says Brother early one morning. “Any girls?” asks Sister. She runs to the window. She sees one boy and two girls.“Come on. Let’s go over and play,” says Brother. Mama stops them. “Mama, it’s Saturday. We don’t have to go to school,” says Sister. “We’ll go over later and welcome them,” says Mama.Papa looks unhappy. He says. “What are they doing here?” “What’s the matter(怎么了?), Papa? Don’t you like them?” asks Sister. “That’s not it. It’s just…it’s just that they are…different,” says Papa.“Well, different or not,” says Mama as they sit down for breakfast, “they are our new neighbors, and we are going to welcome them.”“Look! They are building a fence. Maybe they don’t want us to visit them,” says Papa.“I am sure there is a good reason(充分的理由),” says Mama. She puts a bow (蝴蝶结) on a jar of honey. It is her present for the new neighbors.
