It was December and the snow was falling quietly outside.The four March sisters Meg,Jo,
Beth and Amy,were sitting around the fire..They were knitting(编织)socks for soldiers(士兵)
There was a war and everyone had to help.The festival was coming,but they wouldn't get any
gifts from their mother,Mrs.March.
"We've got Father and Mother,and each other,"said Beth.They looked happy when hearing
this.Then Jo said,"But it is a pity that our father is far away with the soldiers."
Nobody spoke for a minute,and then Meg said,"Mother says our men are at war and we
mustn't spend money for fun.That's why we can't have gifts this year."
Although they would have no gifts,they each had a dollar.They began to share what they
wanted to buy.Jo would like to buy a book for herself.Beth planned to spend hers on new music.
Amy would like a nice box of drawing pencils.
Jo thought Mother didn't say anything about their money.They worked hard so they could
buy what they wanted each.It was true.The two elder sisters had jobs.
Just then the clock struck(敲击)six.Beth got up and put her mother's slippers(拖鞋)near
the fire to warm.
Those slippers are very old,”said Jo.“Mother needs some new ones.”
"I can buy a pair for her with my own dollars"said Beth.
No,I'm the oldest,.”Meg said.“I want to buy the slippers for her..”
"I have an idea,"said Beth."Don't buy presents for ourselves.Get some for Mother
instead."Her sisters thought that was a very good idea.

best place.Maybe it's not that comfortable,but it's where love and family can be found.After
