What can Mrs Lynde see from her kitchen window? How old is Matthew?CHAPTER ONE Mrs Rachel Lynde is sitting by her kitchen window. She sits there because she can see the road very well from there. A man with a horse and a buggy comes up the road. “It’s my friend Matthew Cuthbert,” she thinks. “Where's he going at half past three in the afternoon? Why isn’t he working on his farm?” Matthew Cuthbert lives with his sister, Marilla, in a big old farmhouse, ! called Green Gables. “I'm going to visit Marilla,” thinks Mrs Lynde. “I want to ask her about Matthew.” Marilla Cuthbert is a tall, thin woman with gray hair and blue eyes. She doesn't smile very much, but she has a kind heart. 1. farmhouse : the main house on a farm, where the farmer lives.“Good afternoon, Marilla,” says Mrs Lynde. “Where’s Matthew going this afternoon?” “Hello Rachel,” says Marilla. “Matthew's going to Bright River Train Station. We're getting a little boy from an orphanage in Nova Scotia. He’s coming here on the train.” “An orphan boy!” says Mrs Lynde in surprise. “Why do you want an orphan boy? “Matthew's sixty years old,” answers Marilla. “His heart isn’t very strong and he wants a boy to help him on the farm.” “That's not a good idea, Marilla,” says Mrs Lynde. “You're bringing a strange boy into your house and you don't know anything about him.” “Perhaps you're right,” says Marilla. “But Matthew needs a boy on the farm. Don’t worry!” When Matthew gets to the Bright River Station there is no train. There is only one little girl of eleven at the station, She is very thin and has got long red hair and big gray eyes. She is wearing an ugly dress and she is carrying an old bag, When she sees Matthew she says, “Are you Mr Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables? I'm from the orphanage.” Matthew looks at the little girl and is very surprised. “There's a mistake,” he says. “You're a girl, not a boy!” The little girl smiles and says, “I'm happy because I'm going to have a home soon! How wonderfull” Matthew looks at her and thinks, “The poor girl. I can't leave her at the station. I must take her home and then Marilla can tell the orphanage about the mistake.” The little girl gets into the buggy and Matthew drives home. She talks a lot and Matthew listens. He's a quiet man but he likes listening to the little girl. 40ints of Green (en “Look at those beautiful trees,” says the girl happily. “I love trees and flowers. I like pretty dresses too, but at the orphanage we only have ugly dresses. I'm going to be happy with you and your family. The only thing that makes me sad is the color of my hair.” “Why?” asks Matthew, looking at her hair. “It’s red. T hate red hair,” says the girl sadly. When they get to Green Gables, Marilla opens the door. “Who's this, Matthew?” asks Marilla, looking at the girl. “Where's the boy?” “There isn't any boy,” says Matthew. “But we want a boy, not a girl,” says Marilla angrily. “You don’t want me!” cried the girl. “You don’t want me because I'm a girl! Oh, what can | do?” “Please don't ery,” says Marilla. “You can stay here tonight. What's your name?” “My name's Anne Shirley,” says the girl. “Anne is a very nice name,” says Marilla. “Come and have dinner with us.” After dinner Marilla takes Anne upstairs to bed. Anne gets into a clean, warm bed and starts to cry. Marilla goes downstairs and talks to Matthew. “I’m going to talk to Mrs Spencer tomorrow,” says Marilla. “We're going to send this girl back to the orphanage. We need a b “She's a nice little girl,” says Matthew slowly, “and she’s interesting. She likes us.” “But Matthew, a girl can’t help you on the farm,” says Marilla, looking at her brother. “But Marilla, perhaps we can help her,” says Matthew kindly. ‘The next morning Anne wakes up and runs to the window. It is a beautiful sunny morning. 12A Surprise in Avonlea “This is a beautiful place and I’m happy this morning,” Anne thinks. “But I can’t stay here...” That morning Marilla and Anne take the horse and buggy and go to Mrs Spencer's house. “Tell me your story, Anne,” says Marilla, while she drives the buggy. “It’s not very interesting,” says Anne. “I’m an orphan and I live in an orphanage with a lot of other children. I’m alone in the world. No one wants me or loves me. I really want a family Marilla suddenly feels sad and looks at Anne's big gray eyes. They stop at Mrs Spencer's house and Marilla talks to her about the mistake. “Oh, I’m sorry,” s Mrs Blewett, needs of children.” “Mrs Blewett?” asks Marilla. “I know her and she’s a very unkind Mrs Spencer. “But I have an idea. My friend, girl to help her. She has a new baby and a lot woman. I don't like her. No, for now Anne is going to stay with us.” Marilla and Anne leave Mrs Spencer’s house and get into the buggy. “Oh, Marilla,” say Anne excitedly, “can I stay with you and Matthew? Can I?” “Yes, you can stay at Green Gables with us,” says Marilla smiling, “but you must be good.” “Oh, thank you!” cries Anne. “I’m a good girl, Marilla and I can work hard!” 13UNDERSTANDING THE TEXT COMPREHENSION CHECK Are these sentences “Right” (A) or “Wrong” (B)?
