I moved into a new house in July. Since then I have met a few of my neighbors who are very nice people. For Christmas, I thought I would do something nice for each of the neighbors I knew. There were nine neighbors whom I knew by name or spoke with often when I was in my yard. I knew which houses they lived in.

I decided to add one more to my list. This lady I decided to add lived down the street from me. I met her every morning as I drove down the street. She always smiled at me. But I had no idea who she was and which house she lived in.

I planned to make small fruit baskets and leave them on my neighbors' front porches (门廊) on Christmas Eve. I signed the cards: Happy Holidays from 5104 Northumberland Road.

I saved the last for the friendly lady. I finally decided on a house where I met her each morning and guessed that it was hers.

My neighbors really appreciated the baskets and would tell me as they saw me in the yard or they would call, and a couple even came by to thank me.

The next morning I found a small note in the mailbox. It was addressed simply：Resident, 5104 Northumberland Road.

The thank-you card really caught me by surprise. I opened it and read the

message, “Thank you for the lovely fruit basket you left on our porch. It was very thoughtful. Richard Kelly passed away last week. He talked a lot about how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really appreciated it.”

I had no idea who Richard Kelly was and that he had been seriously ill. I had left that nice lady's basket on his porch by mistake. I wanted to say sorry, but that would be wrong. I believe that Mr Kelly was supposed to have that basket because he was dying. I hate that the nice lady did not receive the fruit basket, but I believe if she knew what had happened, she would be happy. I feel pleased to have made Richard Kelly's last days be more cheerful.

Anne was sitting in the mountain of the village. It was her last spring in the mountain. That very day she would be leaving her aunt's house to rejoin her family in Los Angeles. She had been staying to finish the sixth grade when her parents readied their new home.

There was a presence beside her. Anne glanced to her left. There was another girl, who was drawing. It was a long time before the time was right for Anne to speak.

“Is this your Thinking Place too？” Anne asked. The other girl nodded and smiled, just a little. There was a piece of sadness，Anne realized, in that girl's blue eyes. There was more silence. Then the girl's question came, almost a whisper.

“What are you thinking about？” The eyes drifted to the tears still clinging to Anne's jaw.

“I love this place，” Anne said simply. This was the truth, and it was all that the other needed to hear. A comforting arm reached around Anne's shoulder.

“Me, too.”

“What are you thinking about？” asked Anne, remembering the sadness in the blue eyes.

“My family is moving to somewhere in Los Angeles. But I knew no one there.” Anne became happy. She told the girl she was moving back to Los Angeles. The girl became happy, too. They kept talking and found they had a lot in common.
