      ​Our lovely neighbors have a beautiful St Francis statue（雕像） by the gate on the side of their house. I’ve always loved to at it whenever I look out of the kitchen window. The other day I noticed it wasn’t there! I where it had gone! I hoped it was just moved and not stolen! I told Milan about its  and he said he would ask the the next time he saw them. 

      Yesterday he  Mrs “Neighbor” and mentioned the missing statue to her. He told her how much we loved it and hoped it hadn’t been ！ She said that she had just moved it to the backyard  would bring it back right away! “Oh” said Milan, “We’re just glad it’s !” That evening we went out to sit in our garden and  that the statue was back in its old ! Oh, sweet neighbor! You are so kind and !
      The next day we were out in the garden again planting , and realized that we had too many. We actually couldn’t  where to put them all! I had to leave before we  what to do with them. On my way out, I met Mrs “Neighbor” and  her for moving the statue back! But she said that the spot  the statue lay was too bare.
      There were no flowers.  an idea went on in my head. I thought of the remaining flowers. She could have them, and she was sure to be .
      Now St Francis  among beautiful flowers. I look out of my kitchen window again now and smile! The statue is more beautiful to me now.
