Answer:
Moving to a new place can be tough on anyone, especially if the move is to a new state. At the start of a move you may think that
many aspects of your life will be different and that nothing will be fun ever again. Your surroundings may change, but your good friends
and favorite activities don't have to. You can still maintain your friendships through a variety of technologies: talking on a cell
phone, sending an email, and chatting by video. Technology can help you stay in contact with your friends and keep up on what they're
doing. You can even continue your favorite activities, such as playing soccer. Most towns and cities have their own teams, leagues, or
clubs for popular activities, so you really don't have to give up what you enjoy. Knowing that your friends and activities don't have
to change can help you accept the idea of moving.

It is unexpected that the bachelor becomes involved with the family and storytelling.
Explanation:
"The storyteller" is a short story by H. H. Munro, known as Saki.
The story revolves around three curious children constantly asking their aunt numerous question while travelling in a railway carriage. In order to keep them quiet, she decides to tell them a story, only to be confronted by an unknown man, a stranger, riding the carriage with them, about her obvious lack of story-telling skill. The stranger then proceeds to tell them his version of the aunt's story.
Since the man was a complete stranger, we could say it was rather unexpected of him to become involved with the storytelling so suddenly.
