I Miss My Noisy Neighbor

My neighbor is very noisy. Every morning, he sings. Every evening, he watches TV. His TV is very big and very loud. I don’t like him.

Every day I am very unhappy. Every day he is very happy. I think this is not fair.

One day, he stopped singing. His TV also went quiet. I thought, very good.

The second day, nothing either. The third day, also nothing.

I went to see him. There was nothing left in his home. He was gone.

I returned to my home and sat down, it wasvery quiet. I don’t like the quiet. I don’t know why, but I miss him.

Very interesting story! Although I’m not a newbie, I learn a lot with these. I didn’t know the words for noise, or for fair (as in, that’s not fair).
