The house next door
A SUMMARY OF THE STORY
"It's so nice to go to parties and drive home in carriages," said Meg, the next morning. Mr March had lost most of his money helping a friend. When the two older girls discovered this, they wanted to do something to earn some money for the family, amd as soon as they were old enough, they found work. Meg got a job teaching four small children. It was hard for her to be poor because she could remenber the time when their home had been beautiful, with everything they wanted. And everyday at Mrs King's house she saw pretty dresses, and heard talk of parties and the theatre-all the things which Meg loved. Jo went to Aunt March,who needed someone to fetch and carry things, and read to her. She was a difficult old lady who complained a lot, but Jo did her best. When Jo told the family of her afternoon's adventures, they all wanted to go and visit the big house. " Mother, why doesn't Mr Laurence like to hear Laurie play the piano?" asked Jo. "Laurie's father married an Italian lady, a musician," said Mrs March." The old man didn't like her, and never saw his son after they were married. Laurie was born in Italy, but his parents died when he was a child, and his grandfather brought him home. Laurie loves music and I expect his grandfather is afraid he'll want to be a musician like his mother." "Laurie should be a musician if he wants to be," said Jo. "Sending him to college will just make him unhapy."...

With the word "fetch" you need to write what will be fetched: "March needed someone to fetch and carry things."
