	Description:		This lovely story from the the American writer O'Henry, I completely re-wrote for B2 level. Here is the vocabulary discussed: Just around the corner. The means a place further on where we cannot see but is very close. English proverb: The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. This means that life is better any place but where you are now. hesitation - worried about doing something because you are not sure that it is the right thing to do. impersonal - without friendly human feelings or atmosphere. uncaring - not sympathetic about the problems or suffering of others. loneliness - unhappiness because you have no friends or people to talk to. vibrant and bustling - full of people moving about in a busy way. optimism - a feeling that good things will happen. look at someone in the eye - look directly into someone's face. passers-by - people walking past in the street.
