Little Women

(After L. M. Alcott)

Part I

On a cold evening in December the girls are sitting near the fire in the dining-room. Their mother has not come home yet, and the girls are talking about the New Year and the presents they want to give to their mother.
Margaret, or Meg, as her sisters call her, is a very nice girl. She is sixteen years old. Meg teaches small children in the family of their friends. She gets some money for her work and helps her family. Meg is going to be a teacher.
Josephine, or Jo, is fifteen. She is tall and thin with long thick hair. Jo wants to write stories and be a writer. Now she works at the house of an old woman. She looks after the woman, helps her in the house, reads books to her and gets some money for her work.
Elizabeth, or Beth, is thirteen. She is a tall girl with brown eyes. Beth likes music and is learning to play the piano. She wants to teach music. She helps their mother in the house — dusts the tables, the chairs and the bookcases, sweeps the floor and washes the plates.
Amy is twelve. She has fair hair and large blue eyes. Amy goes to school. Some girls laugh at her old dresses and she does not like school. She wants to be an artist. Amy helps her mother in the kitchen.
