The Johnson family had just moved into a new neighborhood. After their neighbors, the Summers family, welcomed them with a party, a conflict arose over their shared lawn. However, outside threats eventually brought them together for a common cause.
As the Johnsons unpacked, the Summers family—John, Judy, and their son Tommy—watched from their porch. They were curious about the new neighbors and speculated about them. Judy liked the stylish bags the Johnsons carried, while John felt they were over the top. Tommy noticed a boy his age, Kevin, next door, and they exchanged friendly nods.
Meanwhile, Danny and Cindy Johnson were settling in. Danny was skeptical about their new neighbors, worried they might be intrusive, while Cindy encouraged him to embrace the community. Despite Danny’s reservations, they welcomed the Summers family when they showed up with gifts, including a casserole.
Later, John Summers invited the Johnsons to a barbecue to get to know each other better. Though Danny had his doubts about John, the barbecue went well, and Tommy and Kevin quickly became friends.
However, tensions flared when a dog belonging to the Summers family dug holes in the Johnsons’ yard, leading to a heated confrontation. Danny felt disrespected, and John, frustrated by Danny’s reaction, decided to build a wall to separate their properties. This only escalated the feud, forcing their children to hide their friendship.
One morning, John was shocked to find a bulldozer demolishing the wall. Danny arrived, and they learned that Mr. Cooper, a local businessman, intended to build a store on their land. Panic set in as they realized they could lose their homes.
United by this threat, Danny and John decided to rally their neighbors for support. They organized a protest, which stopped the bulldozer and led to the police arresting Mr. Cooper for fraud.
After this victory, Danny suggested they work together to resolve their property dispute. John considered this but instead surprised Danny by building a playground on his side of the lawn, prompting a truce. The two families began to share the space and even built a gazebo together for community gatherings.
This story teaches us the importance of getting along with neighbors. By setting aside their differences, John and Danny learned to prioritize their families and forged a lasting friendship, proving that unity can overcome conflict.
HOUSE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL – BUT PEOPLE REFUSED TO BUY IT BECAUSE OF WHAT WAS INSIDE
Finding a house that fits your criteria perfectly can be a challenge. Sometimes you have to compromise on a few aspects in order to find a home. However, there are certain things no one is willing to compromise on.
This is the story of a house that seems ordinary enough from the outside but when you peak a look inside… you understand why no one is will to buy it.
A home listed in the UK seemed to be perfect. The listed described it as a home with four bedrooms, a master suite, a garage and a perfectly manicured garden. The listing also included the fact that the home had been maintained to a “high standard” but it seemed like no one wanted to buy it. The reason for that was soon revealed when the pictures of the home’s interior came to light.
Everything inside the interior of the home was purple. The paint on all the walls was of course purple but it did not stop there. The floor was also purple, and the ceilings and the curtains were all purple as well.
The closet doors in the master suite also happened to be a garish purple color. While one might reason that the walls are easy enough to paint over, fixures such as closet doors can be a hassle to replace.
While the inside of the house is a parade of purple, the outside or the exterior of the house has remained unscathed by the color. The garden is also normal looking, not betraying what the inside of the home looks like. The home is listed for £400,000 which is approximately $500 thousand.
Unless the next owner of the property also adores the color purple, something must change.
Would you be willing to live in this house?
