  A man and his wife wanted to move to a new house. They searched for a long time and finally found an advertisement for a nice one. They looked at the house together and almost decided to buy it, but they wanted to learn more about the neighborhood first. Would the neighbors be nice or not? An old man was walking in front of the house, so they went to him to get some information.

  “Sir,” said the husband, “my wife and I are looking at this house. It seems excellent and we may buy it. But first, before our final decision, could you please give us some information about the neighborhood? What are the people around here like? We want to avoid trouble if we can.”

  The old man looked at the couple, and then replied with a question. “What type of people live near you in your present home?”

  “They're terrible,” the husband replied. “They're always causing arguments (爭論) and making trouble. We decided to move mainly to avoid them.”

  “Well, don't move here”, warned the old man, “You'll find the same type of people here.”

  The couple thanked the old man for his warning and drove off to continue their search (尋找). Just then a second couple drove up.

  “Sir,” the second husband said, “could you please give us some information about the neighbors here? We may want to buy this house.”

  “How are the neighbors around your present home?”

  “They're excellent,” was the husband's reply. “Everybody is helpful, friendly and cheerful. We never have any trouble. It will be terrible to have to move away from them.”

  “They're cheerful, eh?” said the old man. “Well, you'll find the same type of people here.”
