Peter’s uncle lives in the country. Once in summer, Peter goes to stay with him for a few weeks. Whenever they go for a walk or for a drive in the car and pass somebody, his uncle waves to the passer-by. Peter is surprised and says, “Uncle George, you seem to know everybody here. Where did you meet them all?”

“I don’t know all these people,” answers his uncle. “Then why do you wave to them?” “Well, Peter,” says his uncle, “when I wave to someone who knows me, he is pleased. He goes on his journey with a happier heart. But when I wave to someone who doesn’t know me, he is surprised and says to himself, ‘Who is that man? Why did he wave to me?’ So he has something to think about during the rest of his journey, and that makes his journey seem shorter. So I make everybody happy.”

If you have a good neighbour, you are a lucky person. You have someone who cares about your needs and your property (财产).

A good neighbour is someone who, for example, understands that your children may run across his garden, even though you tell them not to. He or she realizes that children can be careless about things like that, and he won’t make a big fuss about it unless it becomes a regularthing. He doesn’t make a big deal about it.

A good neighbour is also respectful (尊重的) of your property. For example, he or she won’t plant a huge tree between your houses without asking how you feel about it. If he or she wants to put up a fence, he or she will let you know first. He or she might work with you to decide where it should be placed.

A good neighbour will lend you some milk if you don’t have any. He or she will give you a ride to work if there is something wrong with your car, and let your children stay at his or her house in the evening if you are really busy with work.
