"Wow! I want to listen to you," Sophie said with curiosity.

"Lara's father, his wife, and his children are my neighbors. They are live in front of my apartment." Natalie said.

Sophie remembered that woman. She was very good and kind. Little Sophie didn't want to think bad things about her family. Maybe to know this woman better?

Natalie didn't know her well, but she wanted. Also, Sophie's friend heard different words about this mysterious woman.

"Good Morning, Mrs. M.," Natalie said with a smile.
