An Incredible Neighbor My neighbor Mrs. Wills is an amazing person. She is 96 years old.
(My
grandmother lived to be 87.) Mrs. Wills lives alone, and she takes care of herself. In the
morning, she works in her beautiful garden. She also does all of her own cooking. ( She does
not like to cook rice.) She cleans her own house. She even puts her heavy garbage can by the
street for trash collection. She pulls it slowly to the curb, and she goes up and down the steps to
her door without help. I hope to have that much energy and ability when I am 96 years old.
