24、   Living next to next is the principle （原则） of a neighbor. Good neighborliness is the ideal to be aimed at. As the saying goes, no man is an island; he has to live with his neighbors. To make life easy and pleasant he must cooperate with his neighbors.

Whether one likes it or not, one cannot do without neighbors. Normally one may think he can do without neighbors because he can manage all comforts and services, so the services or the need for friend may not happen. However, the sympathy （同情）, admiration and appreciation which a neighbor may offer will have great humanizing influence. To share one's view and sometimes even sadness, one needs some neighbors.

But all neighbors are not always keeping the friendly relationship. Stresses and tension （紧张） develop because of misunderstanding. Very often children may be the cause for tense feelings. The neighbor's son may pick a flower or a fruit from your garden and an argument may follow. Again he may throw his ball at your window breaking it. These are common cases so far as the younger one is concerned but it is for the elders to view them with calmness and make up for it. This may read easy on paper but not so in real life. But being broad minded, one must be able to tolerate （容忍）. Another reason for tension may be the animals. Your neighbor’s dog may be real trouble or his chickens would come into your garden and eat away your plants.

In all these cases to keep up good neighborliness, some understanding between the neighbors is important. Small differences can be easily patched up or worked out. Try to be friendly and the problem will not be difficult to solve. Care can at times play a good part and help the neighbors in a small or big way. Nobody is perfect and it is better not to speak ill of your neighbors. A cheerful word, a nod or a small talk will strengthen the feeling of good neighborliness.

Neighborliness is not only for people but it is also largely important between neighboring countries. History has got lot to teach on this. Unless countries learn to live as good neighbors, there cannot be peace on earth. So children must be taught at home and in the school to cooperate with the neighbors and be friendly with them. The basic rule is to give and take and to develop a sense that the other man has as much right as you do, and some degree of tolerance is very necessary.

25、   Years ago, I went to visit one of my dad's friends with him. The host poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of us. Then he thought of something suddenly and hurried into the inner room, leaving the thermos （热水瓶）on the table.

My dad remained sitting still in the living room while I was looking at the flowers outside the window. My father just about to take his cup when the crash came, right there in the sitting room. Something was hopelessly broken.

It was the thermos, which had fallen to the floor. I looked over my shoulder suddenly, shocked, staring. It was mysterious! neither of us had touched it, not even a little bit. Undoubtedly, it hadn't stood steadily when the host placed it on the table. But it hadn't fallen then.

The crash of the thermos caused the host, with a box of sugar cubes in his hand, to rush back from the inner room. He looked at the steaming floor and said at once. “It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!” I thought Dad would explain something about that. But I just heard his words, “Sorry I touched it and it fell.” I was puzzled and thought Dad was a little bit stupid.

“It doesn't matter,” the host said again.

Later, when we left the house, I said, “Daddy, did you touch it?”

“No. But it stood so close to me.”

“But you didn't touch it. I saw your reflection in the window. You were sitting perfectly still.” Father laughed. “Then how would you explain the cause of its fall?”

“The thermos fell by itself. The floor is uneven. It wasn't steady （平稳的）when he put it there. Daddy, why did you say that?”

“That won't do, girl. It sounds more acceptable when I say I knocked it down. Sometimes, the more you defend something, the less people can accept it.”

I was lost in silence for a while. Then I said, “You can explain it only this way?”

“Only this way.” my father said.

I didn't understand my dad's words at that time. But now I do---the host has been Dad's life-long friend. Maybe it was wise for Dad to take the responsibility in such a situation.
