Mrs. Green lives in an old house with a small1. Every year, there grows strawberries which are her favorite.
Yesterday morning, Mrs. Green opened the door so2that the door almost broke. Then she looked3the window and saw her neighbor, an old lady, crossing the yard. "She is in my garden again. Those are my strawberries, not hers. Maybe I should call the4."
Her friend, Alice, was sitting at the table and5a cup of coffee. "You want to call the police6she picks your strawberries?" she asked.
"Of course," Mrs. Green answered7." What will you do if your neighbor walks into your garden without your permission (允许) and picks your strawberries?"
"I would say it's8 than the bees," Alice answered.
"The bees don't9my strawberries, but the old lady does," said Mrs. Green.
Alice said, "That old lady only picks some10strawberries every year. Why don't you pick some good ones and give them to her?"
"Are you11?"
"I don't think so. The old lady is kind and does12good to you. Don't you remember what happened when you were ill13last year? She went to see you with some chicken soup. If you give her strawberries, you can tell her that you still remember that."
Mrs. Green felt very guilty (内疚的). She was so angry that she almost forgot14the old lady did for her. Then she picked a basket of good strawberries and went to see her neighbor.
Through the window, Alice could see the anger on Mrs. Green's face15a smiling one.
