I'm Mrs. Hasagawa, Lilo's neighbour. Stitch came to our island two years ago. At first, he was very strange. He used to climb onto my roof and make loud noises at night. He didn't use to be quiet at all. He used to steal my fruit and destroy my flowers. He didn't use to obey anyone.

One day I asked Lilo: \"Did he use to have a family?\" She said no. He used to live alone on another planet. That's why he felt lonely here.

Lilo took care of him every day. Little by little, Stitch changed. Now he behaves much better. He doesn't steal anymore, and he is friendly to everyone on our street. He didn't use to help anyone, but now he helps me carry my bags home. We often drink tea in the evening. My difficult neighbour is part of my family now.
