Once upon a time, in a small town, there were two little girls named Anna and Asia. They lived in the same neighborhood but had never met before. One sunny morning, Anna noticed a moving truck outside the house next door. She saw a girl about her age with long brown hair step out of the truck. Anna's heart raced with excitement as she thought about making a new friend.
