From Neighbours to Friends (Neighbourliness) Class 1 Chapter 2 

Read and Think! 
Many families live around our house. They are our neighbours. We should help our neighbours whenever they need our help. We can play and share things with our neighbours. We should always be polite and well-behaved with our neighbours. Think of what is good in our neighbours and remember to be good to them. Understand this Way! Amar and Rajat were neighbours, but they did not know each other well. One day when Amar returned from school, he found that he had lost his house keys. He stood outside his home, tired and hungry. He didn't know what to do. His parents would return from office late in the evening. Rajat saw Amar looking worried and asked if he could help him. When Amar explained what had happened, Rajat immediately invited him to his home. Rajat's mother looked after Amar. She called up Amar's mother and explained everything to her, saying that there was no need to worry. Amar's parents returned from work soon. They thanked Rajat's mother for her help. From that day on, the two boys became good friends. We have learnt that... Our neighbours are our friends. We should help them whenever they are in need of our help and live in harmony with them.
