14 Happier days
　　Christmas Day was very different that year．Beth felt much better and was carried to the window to see the snowman which Jo and Laurie had made．It had a basket of fruit and flowers in one hand and a new piece of music in the other．Laurie ran up and down，bringing in the presents， and Jo sang a funny song．
　　'I'm so happy！'laughed Beth，as Jo carried her back to the other room to rest after the fun．'Oh，I do wish that Father was here too！'
　　Half an hour later，Laurie came to the house and opened the door quietly．'Here's another Christmas present for the March family！'he called out．
　　He moved away，and in his place appeared a tall man holding the arm of another tall man，who tried to say something but couldn't．

14 快乐的日子
　　那年的圣诞节非同寻常。贝斯感觉好多了，她被抬到窗前看琼和罗瑞堆起的雪人。它一只手拿着一篮水果和鲜花，另一只手拿着一张新歌谱。罗瑞跑上跑下地送来礼物，琼唱着一首有意思的歌。
　　“我真高兴！”玩乐过后、琼把贝斯抱到另一个房间休息时贝斯笑着说。“噢，我真希望爸爸也在这儿！”
　　半个小时以后，罗瑞来到屋里，静悄悄地打开门。“这儿有给马奇一家的另一份圣诞礼物！”他喊道。
　　他挪开了，在他的位子上出现了一个高大的男人，他扶着另一个高大的男人，这个人试图说些什么，但没有说出来。
