Molly couldn’t find a solution. She was ready to give up and
call her niece to return the ticket when she realized that she
knocked on almost every neighbor’s door, but she didn’t visit the
young family that recently moved to the neighborhood. Molly
sighed with a heavy heart, but decided to give it a try. I have
nothing to lose. She thought. Even if they say no, at least I can say
I tried.
When Molly knocked on the door, Sarah, Emma’s mom,
opened it and invited Molly in.
“Hello, Emma,” Molly said when she saw Sarah’s daughter
playing with her cats on the living room carpet.
“Hello, Mrs. Smith,” Emma smiled.
Sarah led Molly to the study and asked, “Can I get you
something to drink?”
“No, thank you. I came to ask you a favor.” Molly said
nervously, wringing her fingers as she held onto her cane with
both hands.
