Ⅴ. As an old saying goes, a nearby neighbour is better than a faraway cousin. Last Sunday, my parents and I went out to play. But when we arrived at home, I couldn't find the key to our door. When we decided to look for it along the way we went, our neighbour Miss Wang came to us with our key in her hand. She told us that we had left the key in the lock, so she took it for us. We were very grateful for her kind help.
What a good neighbour she is!
