A neighbor begins sending angry texts to his neighbor Umar, complaining that he was losing sleep over the sounds of footsteps, a vacuum running, a door closing, a dresser drawer opening and a toilet seat being moved. Then the bad neighbor did something nobody could ever imagine.

A Strange Problem with a Neighbor

Tampa, Florida - Umar Abdullah and his family moved into a new apartment in Florida. At first, everything seemed fine, and they even got along with their neighbor, Xuming Li. Here, the phrase “get along” means to be friendly or to a have relationship without problems. However, Li soon started complaining about noise from Umar’s home. He sent messages asking them to walk more quietly and not move furniture at night. At first, Umar thought it was just a small issue.

Do you think that we could ***get along*** with aliens or would they just eat us as snacks?

A Mysterious Sickness

After some time, Umar and his family started feeling sick. They had headaches, felt dizzy, and even vomited. A friend who visited noticed a strange chemical smell in the apartment. Umar called different professionals, like air conditioning and plumbing experts, to find the problem. A plumber is a person who fixes and works on water pipes in buildings. However, no one could explain where the smell was coming from.

The ***plumber*** knew he made a mistake when he flooded the bathroom.

A Hidden Camera

Umar became suspicious of his neighbor. He decided to install a hidden camera outside his door. When he checked the video, he was shocked. The footage showed Li crouching near his door, injecting something into the apartment through a small crack. When you crouch you lower your body close to the ground by bending your legs. Umar then realized that his family’s sickness was not a coincidence.

In the afternoon, Venom liked to ***crouch*** in his living room and read his favorite book.

Police Arrest the Neighbor

Umar immediately took his family out of the home and called the police. Immediately means now or without thinking. Officers arrested Li and tested the liquid he used. It contained dangerous chemicals, including opioid painkillers. These substances can make people very sick and even be deadly. Li was charged with several crimes and was sent to jail.

If you saw money falling from a plane you would ***immediately*** start to take all you could carry.

Back To China

Li, who was studying chemistry at a university in Florida, was later deported to China. He had been in the U.S. on a student visa. Because he left the country, the court could not continue the case against him. He will not face punishment unless he returns to the United States. The word face here means to experience and take responsibility for something.

Charles, likes to eat lunch in his favorite restaurant but doesn’t want to ***face*** the fact that he is now a zombie and he can’t live a normal life like he used to.

Bonus: Today’s…Phrase?

For my more advanced readers, let me know what you think of this story. Again, and again we hear stories that we would never imagine happening in real life but it seems that evil is common in many parts of the world. As we know the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Gabriel continued to instruct me to treat neighbors well until I thought he would make them my heirs.” So what about trying to poison your neighbor because their footsteps are heard! Unfortunately, the phrase, “Good fences make good neighbors” is very true.

The phrase, ***“Good fences make good neighbors”*** means that when people keep to themselves, and don’t enter into the private areas of others, like their neighbors, then people will have less problems with each other.
