The house next door had been empty for so long that we had quite forgotten what it was to have neighbors. One day, 36 , a great furniture lorry drew up near our front gate and a short time, all kinds of furniture were 37 on the pavement. A small car arrived, out of which came seven people , a man a woman and five children of 38 ages. The children rushed out and began laughing 39 as the whole family moved into the house. Windows were 40 open; furniture was put into 41 ; and little faces looked curiously at us over the fence and disappeared. It was our first 42 to the Robinsons.
Though we became firm 43 with our neighbors, we often had causes to be made angry by them. Our garden became an unsafe place: little boys 44 up as cowboys or Indians would jump up from somewhere, 45 wooden guns at us and 46 us to put up our hands. Sometimes our lives were 47 ; at others, we were killed with a 48 “Bang, Bang!”. Even more dangerous were the arrows that occasionally came sailing 49 the garden fence.
But we did not 50 go in fear for our lives. The Robinsons were friendly and helpful and when we left for our holidays, we knew we had nothing to fear 51 our neighbors were around. We understood what it was like to have 52 in the long, dull winter evening 53 Mr Robinson would 54 in for a cup of tea and chat; or when Mr. Robinson would 55 over the fence and talk endlessly with father about gardening problems.
