At last Winnie and her mother came. Nancy ran to the door and opened it. Winnie had a blue dress and blue socks on. My little sister was shocked and she didn’t greet Winnie. She only looked and looked at her blue socks. She was surprised that Winnie had blue socks on, too.

My mother and Winnie’s mother sat down on a bench in the garden and talked, and Winnie and my little sister went to play. My sister showed her all the toys and the big doll, too.

But Winnie didn’t look at the doll and didn’t speak with Nancy either. She didn’t want to play with Nancy’s toys, she didn’t want to run, and she didn’t want to play hide-and-seek. She wanted to read a book. She was six already and she went to school. That’s why she could read.

The children went into the house. Winnie took one of my books and began to read it. But my little sister didn’t go to school. She couldn’t read so she ran into the garden, picked apples, flowers, and when tea-time came, her hands were dirty and her face was dirty, and her dress was dirty, too.

My mother put a big cake on the table. She offered Winnie a piece of cake. Winnie thanked the mother and took a little piece of cake.

But my naughty sister took a very big piece of cake. She liked cakes very much.

After tea Winnie and her mother went home. When they went away my naughty little sister told the mother that she didn’t want to be a good girl because she liked cakes very much.

When my little sister was five, she went to school. She went to school every day.

The lessons began at nine o’clock. At eleven o’clock the children had a short break. Then they had two more lessons. At one o’clock in the afternoon the children had dinner at school. Some children went home for dinner, but my little sister didn’t go home for dinner as our house was not near the school.

After dinner we played in the yard and had two more lessons. The lessons were over at four o’clock and the mother came to take my sister home.

Nancy learned many things at school. She learned to read, to write and to count. She could spell her name very well now.

She learned many things about animals. She learned about animals that gave us milk and about animals that gave us wool.

One evening when she put her school-books and her pens into her bag, she put her doll into the bag, too. When the first lesson began, she put the doll on the desk.

The teacher told her to put the doll away as she was a big girl. But my naughty little sister said that the doll was five years old and she had to go to school.

My little sister learned not only to read and to write. She also learned how to answer the telephone. When the mother was not at home she took the message for her.

One day the mother was not at home when the telephone bell rang. It was Nancy’s teacher. She asked Nancy to tell her mother that Nancy had to leave her doll at home. But Nancy told the mother nothing about the teacher’s call.

The next day she took her doll to school again. The teacher wrote a letter to our mother and gave it to me.

The mother was very angry with Nancy and put her doll into a box and put the box into the wardrobe. And my sister didn’t get any cake for supper.

When my little sister was five a nice woman and her husband came to live near our house. The woman’s name was Mrs. Jones. But my little sister called her Mrs. Cocoa Jones.

Do you know why she called her so?

In summer, when we had over school vacation, Nancy went to Mrs. Jones every morning at eleven o’clock to drink cocoa. Mrs. Jones had no children, and she didn’t like to drink her cocoa alone. She liked to talk to my little sister. They were good friends. That’s why my sister called her Mrs. Cocoa Jones.

Mrs. Cocoa Jones liked to knit. She knitted in the morning and in the afternoon, and she knitted at the tea-time when her friends came to see her. She talked and knitted. She knitted many nice things for my sister and me and our dolls, too.

One day she offered to teach Nancy knitting. My sister didn’t want to learn knitting, but she wanted to present her friends with knitted things. That’s why she agreed to learn knitting.

Mrs. Jones gave my little sister some wool and two needles and showed her how to knit. But Nancy didn’t like to sit in one place, she liked to run and to play.

Mrs. Jones’ husband was very nice, too. He liked to talk to my little sister as she was very funny. Once he told Nancy that the next month he would have his birthday and Nancy decided to knit a present for him.

She wanted to knit a long scarf for him. She took yellow, green, red and blue wool and knitted a scarf. Her scarf was yellow and green, red and blue but it was not long. It was short because my little sister could not knit very well. She didn’t want to show us her scarf, so she knitted it in the shed and in the garden under the apple-tree.

Nancy presented Mr. Jones with that scarf on his birthday. Mr. Jones thanked Nancy and promised to put it on only on holidays as it was very beautiful.

My little sister often helped Mrs. Jones about the house. Mrs. Jones worked very much and had a very clean house. She was glad when my sister came to help her. Mrs. Jones swept the floor with a big broom, and she bought a little red broom for my sister, too. But sometimes Mrs. Jones’ back hurt her when she bent over.

One day Mr. Jones bought a vacuum cleaner. It swept the floor very well but it made very much noise, and my little sister didn’t like it.

She didn’t go to see Mrs. Jones for a week. One day Mrs. Jones came to see my sister. She told Nancy that poor Charlie wanted to eat very much. Nancy was surprised to hear it because she didn’t know who Charlie was. Mrs. Jones explained that Charlie was the name of the vacuum cleaner. Nancy wanted to see how Charlie ate and she ran to Mrs. Jones’ house.

She saw the vacuum cleaner on the floor in the room. Mrs. Jones put bits of paper on the floor and Charlie “ate” them all up. Then my little sister put bits of paper on the floor, too. They jumped into Charlie’s “mouth”. It was so funny.

My little sister liked school but she liked vacation more than school. On the first day of our vacation she asked our mother and father to take her to different places every day of the vacation.

On Monday the father took my sister to the Zoo. She saw all the animals there. She saw big elephants and funny monkeys, brown bears and white bears, tigers and a big lion. When my little sister came home from the Zoo she talked only about the animals at the Zoo.

On Tuesday my mother, my sister and I went to the country. We went to a lake. It was very beautiful near the lake. There were a lot of green trees and red and blue flowers there. We picked some flowers. Suddenly we saw a big white goose. My little sister was afraid of the goose. We came home very late. My little sister told our father about the country, about the lake and the flowers and the big white goose.

On Wednesday the mother took us to the sea. The day was fine. The sea was blue and the sky was blue. We saw many little boats and two sailboats. We picked up little stones in the water, and we played near the sea. When we were going home, my little sister slept on the train.

On Thursday the father took Nancy to the park. The park was a very good place to play in. Many children came to the park every day. My sister played with a ball and had three rides on a roundabout. There was a big lake in the park. A boy came with a dog to the lake. The boy threw a stick into the water and the dog swam to it, took it into its mouth and brought it back to the boy. My sister and my father watched the boy and the dog.
