Two weeks later, the children made another note. They held it up as The Green Dragon rushed past. The notice said, “MOTHER IS NEARLY WELLAGAIN. THANK YOU. ”
The old gentleman saw the notice. He smiled and waved to the children.
When they told Mother about the old gentleman, she was very angry with them. "It was wrong to ask a stranger for help, "she said. Then, she stopped being angry and began to cry. The children thought this was worse.
“I'm sorry I was angry with you, "she said. "I know you don't really understand. We're poor, but we hav enough money for food. You must never ever again ask anyone to give you things. "
The next day was Roberta's birthday. Mother told her to go away and stay away until teatime.
She felt very lonely in the garden, so she walked out of it and down the lane to the canal. While Roberta was standing on the bridge looking down at the barges(驳船), the doctor came up in his small horse and cart. "Hello, head nurse, "he said. "Do you want a ride home?" Roberta got into the cart and sat next to the doctor
Roberta let the doctor go on to his house and she stayed in the garden until teatime. When she went inside, there were twelve candles on the table, flowers, and some little parcels. As she walked into the room, Mother, Phyllis, and Peter sang a song to her.
Mother wrote the words for a birthday song every year.
Our darling Robert
No sorrow shall hurt her
If we can prevent it
Her whole life long.
Her birthday's our party day
We'll make it our great day
And give her our presents
And sing her our song
At the end of the song, Mother said, "Three cheers for Roberta. " And she, Phyllis, and Peter shouted, "Hip! Hip! Hooray!"
