Our Friendly Neighbours

My name is Maria and I live in Mumbai with my grandparents, parents,
and my naughty younger brother. Our neighbours are the Naiks, who live in the
penthouse. They have a pet, the friendly Beagle, named Oliver. Mr Naik
always takes Oliver for a walk in the morning and comes back with little
goodies for my brother and me, Mrs Naik is a great cook and whenever
they cook anything the aroma floods our house and all of us keep
dreaming what it is. Their children are married and live outside Mumbai.
One day, my mom was unwell and had to be hospitalised for a few days, my
dad was wondering how to manage food for us. The Naiks came home and
told my parents not to worry and they will manage our kitchen. Everyday,
they used to come to our house in the morning by 6. 30 am and make our
breakfast & lunch, which was always something different and tasty. They
used to cook dinner at their home and send it to us. My grandparents also
love their cooking.
My dad told me that time, it is a great virtue to help one another at times
of need which I will always remember thanks to the Naiks.
Questions:
1.How many people are there in Maria's
house? 2.Where were the Naiks living?
3.Who was hospitalised and what was the issue because of that?
4.What did Maria learn from this incident?
5.Write down three good qualities you think one should have.
