Bobby's New Apartment
Bobby Waters and his parents stood in front of their new home.They had just moved from their house in a small town to the big city.Their new home was an apartment building.It rose into the sky.All Bobby could see was row after row of windows.
"What a big building," Bobby's father said."Must be 50 flights of stairs. Maybe a hundred apartments."
That made Bobby scared."How many people live here?" he asked."I guess we won't have a front stoop like we had before."
A tall man in a fancy uniform came out of the building."Hello, Waters family!" he said.He stood in a way that looked like he was leaning over.He looked a little fierce to Bobby.
"Say hello to Ron, our doorman," Bobby's mother said."He watches this building.He lets us know if we have visitors or packages.
"Visitors?" Bobby said. "We don't even know anyone."Bobby missed his house and his friends already.
They got into the elevator.It looked like there were a hundred buttons.Each one was a different floor."We live on the 21st floor," Bobby's mother said. "Isn't that exciting?"
"I don't think so," Bobby said.The elevator began to rise.It made his stomach feel funny.It felt like they were rising very, very high.
The elevator stopped. Bobby started to get out."Not yet," his mother said. "This isn't our floor."A little girl and her mother got in.The girl looked at Bobby.
This place is so strange, Bobby thought.I wonder if people ever talk to each other around here."Mom," Bobby said, "do people talk in the elevators here?"
The little girl's mother burst out laughing."You must be new to the building," the woman said."I'm Mrs. Low, and this is Hazel. She loves to talk."
Bobby's mother smiled and said,"I'm Jean Waters, and this is Bobby. He likes to talk, too."
"We used to live in a big house with lots of rooms," Bobby said sadly.
"I bet you miss your house," Mrs. Low said to Bobby."Soon you might like living in a very big building with many, many rooms," Mrs. Low said.
"We live in 33D," said Hazel. "Where do you live?"
"I don't know yet. We just moved in," Bobby said."You could come with us and see our new apartment," Bobby said with a smile.
"Maybe sometime soon, Bobby," Mrs. Low said."Hazel and I need to have lunch now.Maybe you and your mom could come and have cookies with us later?"
