Шрифт:
“Do you want me to read to you? I can come.”
“Will you?” asked Laurie.
“Yes, I will go and ask my mother.”
She came to Laurie with a dish from mother, dessert from Meg and kittens from Beth. Jo helped him to clean the room and they talked a lot. Jo understood that Laurie is lonely in this big house with no sisters or brothers and invited him to go her house. She also found that Laurie liked books too and read more books than Jo.
“You can come to our house and read books,” said Laurie. “Don’t be afraid of my grandpa.”
“I’m not afraid of anyone! Well, maybe a little of your grandpa.” said Jo.
Laurie went to show Jo rooms and books in the library. Then the doctor came and Laurie left Jo for a few minutes. Jo came to a portrait of his grandpa and looked at it.
“You know, your grandpa is not that scary. His mouth looks angry, but he has kind eyes. I like him.”
“Thank you, young lady,” said an old voice. It wasn’t Laurie, it was Mr. Laurence.
