同学们，你或身边的朋友有过因搬迁或转学等原因进入新环境的经历吗？面对陌生的新环境，你是会觉得缺乏安全感呢，还是会去快乐地主动接受？今天让我们一起来看看故事的小男孩是如何表现的吧！

Sally and Robin were twins.

One day they were looking for their old cat， Moggy， when they saw a big van. Then they saw a boy by the van. He looked sad.

“Look， Robin， someone has come to live in that house，” said Sally.

“Lets go and see，” said Robin.

They got off their bikes and went over to the van.

Robin and Sally went up to the boy.

“Im Sally and this is Robin. Do you want to play with us？”

“No，” said the boy， “I dont want to play with you.”

“We only want to be friends，” said Sally.

“I dont want to be friends with you，” said the boy. “I want my old friends. I want to go back to our old house.”

Just then Moggy jumped down from a wall and went into the boys garden.

“Thats our cat， Moggy，” said Sally.

“I dont like cats，” said the boy. “Get him out of here.”

Sally took Moggy out of the garden and put him back on the wall.

“Come on， Robin. Lets go and play on our bikes again，” she said.

“Your bikes are not good，” said the boy. “My bike is much bigger and faster than yours.”

“So you think you can go faster than us， do you？” she said.

“Yes， Ill show you，” said the boy， and he went off to get his bike.

“I dont like him much，” said Robin.

“I dont like him at all！” said Sally. “Ill show him that my bike can go faster than his！”

The boy came back with his bike.

It was bigger than Sallys bike and it looked as if it could go much faster too.

Sally and the boy got on their bikes and Robin called out，

“One， two， three， GO！”

“Come on， Sally！” Robin called.

Sally tried to catch up with the boy， but he was going much too fast for her.

Just then Moggy jumped down from the wall. He sat down on the path and went to sleep.

Moggy didnt see the boy coming on his bike.

“Oh no！” said Robin. “Hes going to run into Moggy.”

Then the boy looked up and saw Moggy on the path. He pulled on his brakes and Moggy ran away.

But then the boy fell off his bike and cut his knees.

Sally and Robin ran over to him.

“You would have been first if you hadnt stopped，” said Robin.

“Yes，” said the boy， “but I didnt want to hurt your cat.”

Then the boy said， “Im sorry I was cross before. Can we be friends now？”

“Yes，” said Sally and Robin， and they all went off to play on their bikes.
