LITTLE WOMEN

A SUMMARY OF THE STORY

"It's hard for her to forgive you, Amy," said Meg. It was not far to the river, but Jo and Laurie were already skating when Amy arrived. Laurie was carefully skating along the edge of the ice and didn't see the younger girl. Amy skated out towards the smmother ice in the middle ofthe river. Jo saw Amy crash through the ice into the cold water. Jo tried to call Laurie, but her voice was gone, and for a second she could only stand and stare at the little bule hood of Amy's coat above the black water. Laurie skated past her. Jo fetched some wood and pulled it across the ice, while Laurie held Amy's head above the water. They got her out. Amy opend her eyes and held out Jo's arm, with a smile that went straight to Jo's heart. Neither of them said a word. but they held each other close, and everything was forgiven and forgotten. Annie Moffat did not forget her promised invitation, and one April day Meg went to stay at the Moffat's large house. Mr Moffat was a fat, friendly gentleman; and Mrs Moffat was a fat, friendly lady. They were all very kind to Meg and did their best to make her feel at home. At the party Meg got a lettter from Mother and flowers from Laurie. Her mother's loving words and Laurie's kindness made Meg feel much happier and she enjoyed the party very much.
