Read

Sam helps his neighbor move into another apartment in the same building. They begin with the smaller boxes and carry them down the hallway. His neighbor labels each box so they know where it belongs. A large chair does not fit through the doorway at first. Sam turns it carefully while his neighbor holds the door open. Together, they move it inside without damaging the wall. After the last trip, they arrange the furniture and unpack the kitchen supplies. His neighbor offers him a cold drink. Sam sits by the window and enjoys a short rest before returning to his apartment.
