One day，when Nancy was expecting some special visitors，she took extra care of the gar?den. She pulled the weeds, trimmed(修剪) the shrubs,cut the grass, and carefully cleaned all the dry autumn leaves. As she was working, an old woman was watching her with interest over the fence. Nancy had met this woman several times in the streets. She seemed to be friendly to everybody.
