When our children were younger, it was popular for city people to buy a small farm in the country and       a few animals there.

One of our new neighbors        ducks. They seemed very lovely; however, they were       to run around in their yard and the neighbors’ yards—      ours. Our vegetables were their favorite food. Often we would “shoo” the ducks home and want to know_      there wasn’t a fence to keep them.

One day, I asked her if she      her ducks were bringing trouble to my garden. She told me that they were her   _   and he was away traveling. My attitude （態(tài)度） to her was bad. We realized that our neighbors were not planning to build a        , so our son built one .The ducks now stayed in their own yard. I didn’t see my neighbor again       months later.

A women’s church group asked me to       at their mother and daughter party. The topic was “Love”. Much to my       ，the first woman I saw when I walked into the church was my neighbor. I knew I could not speak about love to them when I hadn’t been     __ my neighbor. So I walk        to her and said sorry for my attitude. She forgave（原諒）me and then we talked a lot     _ .

Do you have anybody like that in your life? Let me encourage（鼓勵）       ，if at all possible, go to clear the air between you.
