Day 8
Spring came, with its bright green leaves and early flowers. One April evening Marilla came home late after visiting friends. She found the kitchen empty, and no supper on the table.
'Where's Anne?' she thought crossly. 'I told her to get the supper ready.' She hurried upstairs to Anne's room, and found the girl sobbing on her bed.
'Don't look at me, Marilla!' Anne cried. 'I know I'm bad, I know I am!'
'What is the matter?' asked Marilla. 'Are you ill?' 'Oh Marilla, I just want to die! Look at my hair!'
And Marilla saw that Anne's long thick red hair was now a horrible dark green.
'Oh Anne!' she said, 'What have you done now?'
'I ... I bought a bottle of something special from a man who came to the door. He said it would change my hair from red to black! Oh, I know it was stupid of me! But what shall I do?'
They washed Anne's hair again and again, but it was still green. Anne stayed at home for a week, saw nobody, and washed her hair every day. But at the end of the week, Marilla said, 'I'm sorry, Anne, we'll have to cut it all off. You can't go to school with green hair.'
Anne had to agree. 'Perhaps this will teach me not to think about being beautiful,' she said sadly.
Everybody was surprised to see Anne with very short hair, but no one learned the secret. And some weeks later, there were some new, darker red curls, which pleased Anne very much.
That summer Anne and her friends often played in an old boat on the river.
'Today, let's imagine that I'm a prisoner and I'm escaping from prison by boat,' said Anne. 'I'll hide in the boat and the river will carry it down to the bridge. You're my family, and you must meet me at the bridge.'
The other girls agreed, so Anne got into the boat and hid under some coats. Her friends pushed the boat off down the river and ran across the fields to get round to the bridge. For a few minutes the prisoner enjoyed the game, but then she suddenly felt wet and sat up. Water was coming in very fast through a hole in the bottom of the boat! Luckily, there were some trees by the river and Anne saw a low branch over the water. She jumped up and caught the branch. The boat went on without her and a few seconds later went down under the water.
Her friends on the bridge saw the boat, but they did not see Anne under the tree. 'Oh! Oh! Anne's dead! The boat's gone down and she's in the river!' they screamed, and ran back to the village for help.
很有帮助,太感谢了
