little woman by Louisa May Alcott. Chapter Two joe Was the first week in the gray dawn of christmas. Morning. No stockings hung at the fireplace, and for a moment she felt as much disappointed as she did long ago when her little sock fell down because it was crammed so full of goodies. Then she remembered her mother's promise, and slipping her hand under her pillow, drew out a little crimson covered book. She knew it very well, for it was that beautiful old story of the best life ever lived, and joe felt that it was a true guide for any pilgrim going on a long journey. She woke Meg with a merry christmas and bade her see what was under her pillow. Green covered book appeared with the same picture inside, and a few words written by their mother, which made their one present their precious in their eyes present, beth and Amy to rummage and find their little books also. One dove colored other blue and all sat looking at and talking about them, while the east grew rosy with the coming day. Where is mother, as she? And joe ran down to thank her for their gifts. Half an hour later, goodness only knows some poor creature came a begging, and your ma went straight off to see what was needed. There never was such a woman for giving away vittles and drinks cloths and firing, replied Hannah, who had lived with the family since Meg was born and was considered by them all more as a friend than a servant. She will be back soon, I think. So fry your cakes and have everything ready, said next, looking over the presence, which were collected in a basket and kept under the sofa, ready to be produced at the proper time. There his mother hide the basket! Quick! Cried, too, as a door slammed and steps sounded in the hall.
