Read the passage from "The Strangers That Came to Town" carefully.

“Here they come, Mother,” yelled Tom when a truck
drove up in the rain and stopped at the empty cottage across
the street.

Mother hurried in from the kitchen, and we three looked
out. That truck, we knew, contained the Duvitch family and
all their earthly possessions.

All afternoon Mother, Tom, and I had been watching for
them with mixed emotions. For the Duvitches had just come
over from Europe, and they were the first of the nationality
to settle in our town.

A stream of children, accompanied by a big brown dog,
poured out of the back of the truck and stood in a huddle in
the rain.
