阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I prided myself on being a good neighbor. My husband, Charles, and I knew everyone who lived along our rural road.Walking that road, I thought about how we all relied on each other. We picked up mail for people on vacation, lent out tools,and watched each other's children. Each house I passed held a friendly association.
Except Kelly's.
It hadn't always been this way. At one time, Kelly and I had a good relationship. Our children were close in age and often played together. Our husbands were playmates. I never went by her house without waving or stopping to chat if I saw her outside.
Not anymore. If Kelly was out in her yard when I walked or drove by, I acted as if I hadn't seen her and there had been a big wall between us. At first it felt satisfying to let Kelly know what I thought of her. Today the sight of her house just made me sad.
How did things go wrong It had all started with a cat. A stray(无主的宠物) who turned up in my driveway. That wasn't unusual. I already had two stray cats I had adopted as well as a dog. But this cat was violent. He drove my own cats away from their food bowls and hissed at me when I tried to drive him off.
Imagine my surprise a few days later when Kelly announced that she was taking in the cat. “I think he's sweet,” she said.
I didn't even know that Kelly liked cats. She'd never had one before as far as I knew. Living with Kelly didn't make the cat any friendlier. He constantly showed up on our porch, stealing our cats' food and picking fights. “That cat's out of control,” I said to Kelly angrily over the phone one day. “I've had enough of it.”
“He's always perfectly sweet with us!” Kelly said, getting defensive. “I have no idea that you dislike him so much.”

One possible version:
That was the first brick in the wall between us. On a sunny day, I was bathed in the beautiful sunshine when suddenly the cat jumped on my laps. It seemed to come out of nowhere so my hair almost stood on end. Bouncing up from my chair, I dropped the cat hard on the ground and ran after it. While this was going on, Kelly was just standing on her balcony glaring at me. “That was how you treat my cat?” she shouted. A brick turned into a wall from the noon.
One day,when I was walking on that road again, I saw Kelly smiling at me.I smiled back,saying,“ I was sorry for the cat the other day!” She admitted the cat was not friendly sometimes and that her husband had sent it to the “Stray Cats Shelter”.“Our relationship is not that easy to break,isn't it?” She looked at me in the eye. We burst into laughter immediately and gone was the wall.
