Meena's neighbourhood has a market, a park, a hospital, and a temple. She goes to the market with her mother and plays in the park with her friends.
How Neighbours Help Each Other
Good neighbours are like a big family. They help each other in many ways:
They share food during festivals. They help when someone is sick. They look after each other's homes when families go on trips. They help children if they are lost. They celebrate festivals together.
When Ravi's mother was sick, their neighbour Aunty Priya brought food for the family. Good neighbours are a great blessing!
How to Be a Good Neighbour
We should also be good neighbours:
Greet neighbours with a smile. Do not make too much noise. Keep the common areas clean. Help elderly neighbours. Share things when needed. Be kind and polite to everyone.
