                                      The Two Competitive Neighbors 


Once upon a time, there was a village called Bakewell. In the village there was a boy named Abraham. He was very hard working and always earning the highest marks in his classes. Abraham lived with father who worked as a lawyer and his mother who was a nurse working in a hospital. Abraham knew that growing up in a tough family with doctors and lawyers he would be pressured to do well in school so he would sit all night and study for tests and the hard work paid off because he would get the highest marks in class. Although Abraham was doing well in school but there was a course that Abraham struggled with and it was Math. One bright morning Abraham woke up, and was about to get ready for school but soon he realized that it was a Saturday so here went back to sleep. As his eyes were about to close he heard a loud truck sound like coming from outside so he decided to look through his window to see what was making such loud noise. When Abraham was looking through the window he saw a big truck, that said “NEED TO MOVE, RENT NOW” Abraham realized that he was going to have new neighbors.

Abraham quickly went downstairs to tell his parents about the big news. Abraham was very anxious to meet the new neighbors but his dad told his that he needed to give some time so that they can get settled. That afternoon the doorbell rang and Abraham opened the door “Hello my name it john, this is my wife Sophia, and our son Joseph. We just moved in next door” giving Abraham a basket of fruits. Abraham called his dad when did dad came to the door he said “nice to meet, please come on in” the John family went inside their house and talked for a while. They talked about the neighborhood and the school that Abraham attended so the Joseph could attend the same school. They two families spent some time with each other and Abraham family invited the new neighbors for dinner on Sunday. Next day, the new neighbors came over for dinner, everything went well at dinner but Abraham noticed that Joseph was very polite and was eating like a gentleman that bothered him because when Abraham ate he would eat with his hands and make a big mess kind of like a caveman so he stared using a spoon and fork. When dinner was over and John family returned home while Abraham family cleaned the dishes.


The next morning, Abraham got ready and went off to school. After a few hours the bell rang indicating that it was time for the next class and it was math class for Abraham during the lesson there was a knock on the classroom door when everyone looked, it was the principle. The teacher wrote some question on the board and told the class “try these example questions and if you have question we will take them up together” then he went to talk to the principle. “Listen up students! We have a new student in our classroom; please welcome Joseph”. The classes welcomed the Joseph and he sat down at his desk.


 The first day Joseph didn't talk much but when he started talking, he was answering all questions. Abraham soon realized that there was a composition in the class between his and Joseph. When class was over it was time for the last class of the day and it was science class. Abraham was very good at science but Joseph did not say much the entire class, Abraham realized Joseph weakness. After some time it was exam time and other Abraham and Joseph were doing well but Abraham was weak in math while Joseph was weak in science. When the day of the examination came, they both studies hard so that they can proof to each other that they are smarter than one another. They went to their science class for the exam, when the teacher gave them their test, Abraham finished his test and put his exam on the teachers’ desk, but on his way back to his desk he throws ink in Joseph exam paper. The two started fighting and were both sent to the principal office. In the principal office, the two told the principle that they were having compaction on who were going to get the highest mark in the class. The principle told them that they both had failed the exam and will get a second chance next week, and in addition to that he advised them that instead of fighting why not help each other do better. They both agree to help each other and when the exam result came, they got the same average.
