Emily's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, shared stories of their childhood, which took
place many decades ago. In those days, Maplewood was a much smaller town, with fewer houses
and more open spaces. The roads were made of gravel, and there was no traffic light in sight.

"In our time," said Mr. Thompson, "kids played in the streets without a worry. The town felt like
one big playground, and we knew all our neighbors."
In the past, there had been a busy market where farmers sold fresh produce, and kids played
games. Now, the market was a park with beautiful flowers and a playground. Now, the library
changed into a spacious, modern building with rows of computers, her grandparents said “It was
a cozy little place with just a few books”.

When Emily compared the past to the present, she found that some things stayed the same. The
pretty maple trees that named the town still grew along the streets, giving shade in the summer
and colorful leaves in the fall.
