Sam and His Neighbors

Joan Marques

Chapter 3.3 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 138-139 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Sam had built himself a reputation of dignity and reliability: every time something was needed in the neighborhood, he lent a helping hand. His wisdom, intelligence, insights, and not in the least his financial abilities made him a neighbor everyone respected and wanted to stay friends with. Although Sam usually enjoyed his privileges and good reputation, he also had his down-days and mood swings when he was questioning the motives of his so-called friends for their loyalty toward him, and their willingness to accept his advises. He could not help but wonder if they would still look up to him if he became poor, ill, or insane.
