Leo and his friends lived in the same street. They’d meet on the sidewalk daily and walk towards the park, where they’d spend the afternoon playing basketball. During the winter, Leo noticed that of all the houses on the block, there was one with an untidy, dirty yard that looked unattended. One Sunday afternoon, the snow began to melt (融化), exposing all the buried leaves, autumn branches, and other rubbish. Leo couldn’t help but stare at his neighbor’s yard a little longer.

“You guys go ahead,” Leo told his friends while walking to the park. “This dirty yard needs to be taken care of,” he said. His friends laughed at him upon hearing this. “Are you serious? Are you going to give up playing basketball to clean a yard that isn’t even yours?” one of them asked. “I’ll catch up with you all later,” Leo insisted. None of Leo’s friends offered to stay, so when they left, Leo quickly got to work. He went back home and took the tools he needed.

It took Leo the entire afternoon to clean the yard. He got the melting snow out of the pathway and swept the ground. He also cut down the bushes and left them as neat as he could. When he finished, Leo hesitated to ring the doorbell. He hadn’t seen his neighbor in months, an old lady who had to sit in a wheelchair, with a caregiver visiting her every other day. However, he didn’t want to disturb her.

The following morning, the old woman, Abigail, opened her door with happiness. She had quietly watched Leo clean up the yard the day before and wanted to approach him, but she had no food or something else to offer him because her caregiver had not arrived. Abigail had not left her house in months; she only depended on her caregiver for her basic needs. After sitting in her wheelchair by the door for a couple of minutes, her neighbors started to notice her.

参考范文：

They walked up to her to say hello. “How nice to see you out, Abigail!” one of them smiled. “I’m glad to get some fresh air for a change. I couldn’t leave the house for months because of the snow. But yesterday, I saw a kind young man clean my yard,” she said. The neighbors looked at each other with guilty faces. They realized that they had been so blind to Abigail’s problems that no one thought to help her clean the yard. As for the “kind young man”, they knew immediately it was Leo and agreed they should thank him together.

The neighbors came to Leo’s house with gifts and Abigail. Leo was surprised to see them holding presents and asked, “What are these for?” “Dear, we’ve come to thank you for helping me clean the yard,” Abigail said, reaching out to touch Leo’s hand. Other neighbors chimed in, “You helped Abigail when none of us did that. Thank you for setting a good example for us.” The neighbors declared every Sunday afternoon “Neighbor Day”, a day when they would gather to do favors. Since that day, their street has been clean and all the yards tidy.
