New Neighbours

We saw the lorry long before it reached us. It was

full of objects that we had never seen in our whole lives. We could notice something

bright and colorful. All of us wanted to have a look at those mysterious things

closer.

The vehicle advanced towards our house. It was moving

slowly, its metallic tyres

were dazzling us. Men, women and children lined the road expecting to see who

the driver was. To our greatest surprise it was a young woman! She was wearing

sunglasses and a white cap. She stopped the car to ask us if we knew anyone who

spoke English in the village.

My younger brother rushed closer to reply that it was

our father who spoke very good English as he was our school headmaster. The

other three occupants of the car had smiled and congratulated him for his good

English.

“Where did you learn English?” one of the men asked my

brother. He explained that English was my favourite subject at school.

They asked to take our pictures and we posed and posed

for the camera, shouting “Cheese! Cheese!”

They clicked and clicked in our direction and we laughed our hearts out. That

was the moment I still remember as one of the happiest in my childhood. And

when we saw what was in the back of the lorry, we couldn’t believe our eyes!

There were many things but we did not really know their names. Derrick was sure

he had seen a bicycle. Jack thought he had seen a TV set. I, myself, had spotted a big mirror. Later we found out those were our new neighbours.
