At the end of the day, Danny returned home from work and saw a playground on the lawn from John’s side, where Tommy and Kevin were swinging jovially. Danny’s side of the lawn looked awkwardly empty beside the laughter-filled playground on the other side.
“Looks like you really did have a better idea,” a surprised Danny said, approaching John.
“Daddy! Look! Tommy’s dad built a playground!” Kevin said, elated.
“I see, my boy. You boys enjoying yourselves?” Danny asked.
“Yeah!” Tommy and Kevin exclaimed.
“Great stuff!” Danny said to the boys before turning back to John. “Truce?” Danny said, holding out his hand.
“Truce,” John replied. They shook hands and watched their children play.
From that day, the two families agreed to share the lawn space. Danny and John even became good friends. Danny and John built a huge gazebo on Danny’s side of the lawn, where they would host barbecues and parties for the whole community. Judy and Cindy also agreed to make a small flower garden with the remaining space.
