One major difference between growing up in the city and in the country is the degree of friendliness.In large cities,we often hear of people living in huge apartment buildings with hundreds of strangers.These urban apartment dwellers tend to be wary of unknown faces and rarely get to know their neighbors well.The situation in a smal town is often just the opposite.Small-town people generally grow up together,attend the same schools and churches,and share the same friends.As a result,rural people are much more likely to treat their neighbors like family and invite them into their homes.
