1 Answer

Answer :

Pay your bills on time. Don’t borrow money on your credit card. Save as much as you can. You never know when a rainy day will arrive. Set a budget and stick with it. Buy less than you want to. Party responsibly. You have neighbors. Respect them. Don’t eat out all the time. Learn to cook if you don’t already know. Don’t shop at a supermarket, but find a place that sells fresh food. Join organizations in the neighborhood. Explore your neighborhood. Social ties are very important. People will watch out for you if they know who you are.

As the next few weeks passed, the neighbors saw a tiger, a lion, a hippopotamus, and finally an elephant appear in the yard of the retired zookeeper --- all fully- grown and alive, but without any cages or bars to protect the neighborhood from them.
