The Browns are the Smiths’ neighbours(邻居). Mr Brown’s name is John. But when his neighbours talk about him, they call him “Mr Going-to-do”. Do you know why? Mr Brown always says he is going to do something, but he never does it. Every Saturday Mr Brown goes to the Smiths’ back door and talks to Mr Smith. “I’m going to clean my house today” he says, or “I’m going to wash my car tomorrow,” or “These trees in front of my house are too big. I’m going to cut them down next week. ” But Mr Smith knows his neighbour isn’t going to do these things. Mr Smith often says to his only child Dick, “Are you going to do anything? Then do it. Don’t become another Mr Going-to-do.”
