      Little Women - Louisa May Alcott

      Girls, Girls, Girls!

      This is the story of four sisters. They lived in Boston in America during the Civil War. Their father was away helping the army, so they lived in the house with their mother and Hannah, their servant.

      Margaret was the oldest. She was sixteen and was very pretty. She had blonde hair. Her family called her Meg.

      Next came Josephine. She was a tall fifteen-year-old with long legs. She wished that she were a boy. Her family called her Jo.

      The third sister was Elizabeth. She was thirteen. She was a very quiet, shy girl. Her family called her Beth.

      The youngest sister was Amy. She was thin and had blue eyes. She thought she was very important and behaved like a lady.

      Their mother was Mrs. March, and they all loved her very much and tried to please her. She worked hard to help the army by making clothes. The girls called her Marmee.

      The March family did not have much money. They used to be rich, but Mr. March tried to help some friends and lost all his money. They still had their house and Hannah to help them, but their clothes were old, and sometimes they did not have enough to eat. Life was sometimes difficult, but they always tried to be happy and help each other.

      Christmas was coming, and Marmee told the girls that there was not enough money for Christmas presents this year. The girls had a little money and talked about what they would do. Each of them wanted to buy something for herself. Meg wanted something pretty. Jo wanted a new book to read. Beth wanted some music to play on the old piano, and Amy wanted some new pencils because she loved to draw.

      The clock struck six. Marmee would be home soon. The girls got ready. They cleaned the fireplace and lit the lamp. They made sure that Marmee’s chair was near the fire, and Jo held her slippers in front of the fire to make them warm.

      Marmee’s slippers are very old, said Jo. We should buy her a new pair.

      This made them think. They decided that they would not buy anything for themselves this Christmas after all. They would buy some things for Marmee. Meg decided to buy some new gloves. Jo thought new slippers would be very useful. Beth wanted to give her some nice handkerchiefs.

      "I’ll buy some perfume, said Amy. It won’t cost much, and I can still buy some pencils for myself."

      While they waited for Marmee to come home, they practiced their Christmas play. Jo wrote a play every year, and everyone thought it was wonderful. When Marmee arrived, they made her sit by the fire. They put warm slippers on her feet. After supper, Marmee read them a letter from their father. He was well and told his daughters to be good so that he would be proud of his little women when he came home. They all thought about the letter and decided to be very good.

      That evening, the girls took out their sewing. At nine o’clock, they put away their work and sang some songs around the piano.

      Jo was the first one to wake up on Christmas morning. It was a strange feeling because there were no presents to open. Marmee had put a small book under each girl’s pillow. As soon as they woke up, they began to read their new books. Then, they went downstairs to their mother, but she wasn’t there. Hannah told them someone came to the door asking for food, and she had gone out with them.

      The girls got their presents ready. Amy surprised everyone by hurrying off to the shop to buy a larger bottle of perfume. She said that she was feeling guilty for buying such a small bottle of perfume, but now she felt better. Breakfast was ready when Marmee arrived home. She told them that she had visited the Hummel family, who were very poor. The mother had a new baby and six other children. They had no food to eat and no fire to keep them warm. Marmee and the girls decided that they would give them their breakfast. They carried the food and some wood to the Hummels’ house. They gave the food to the children, and Hannah lit a fire to keep them warm.

      When the four girls went home, they were hungry but happy. They knew that they had been good. They had bread and milk for breakfast, and then they gave Marmee her presents. She was very surprised and pleased.

      That afternoon, the girls put on their play for their friends. About ten girls came to see the play. They got onto a bed and watched as the four sisters acted out Jo’s play. It was about a witch and a bad man and two people in love. Everybody enjoyed it very much, even when part of the set fell down. At the end of the play, the bed broke, and all the girls fell onto the floor. Nobody was hurt, and they all laughed.

      When they went to have some supper, they were very surprised to see a lot of food on the table. They didn’t know where the food came from until Marmee told them that it came from Mr. Laurence. He was a rich man who lived in the house next door. The girls had met his grandson. They called him the Laurence boy. Jo wished that she could get to know him better, but his grandfather made him study a lot.

      Mr. Laurence heard about the breakfast that the March family gave to the Hummels and decided to reward the children with this food. They were very pleased and enjoyed it
