                                              Beatrix Potter

 

Many years ago there lived a small girl in a large house in London. Her name was Beatrix. Her parents did not ask other boys and girls to come and play with their daughter.

 

Beatrix had only animals for her friends. She had dogs, cats, frogs, and a rabbit. Beatrix played with her animals and talked to them. The animals understood the girl and loved her very much. Beatrix wrote stories about animal friends and told those stories to her little brother, her parents and their friends. She drew pictures for her stories too.

 

Time went on. Beatrix was not a little girl, but she still wrote stories about animals and drew pictures for those stories. She knew her animals so well that they were like people to her.

 

In 1900 Beatrix published her first book. The title of the book was “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”. Then she wrote a lot of little books and made pictures for them. Children read Beatrix Potter’s books and liked them very much.

 

So the hobby of a small girl helped her to find an interesting profession.

#3                                     My Naughty Little Sister.

 

One autumn when I was a little girl and my sister was a very little girl too, the weather was rainy. It was October. It was very cold and it rained every day. When we went out, we put on our raincoats.

 

But my little sister liked to walk in the water. One day she walked in the water, and her feet got wet. So she caught a bad cold, and she had red eyes.

 

“You can’t go out,” said my mother. “You must stay at home and be a good girl.”

 

 But my sister did not like that.

 

“I want to go out in the rain! I want to go out!”

 

“Look at the pictures in your book,” said my mother.

 

“I don’t want to! I want to go out in the rain!”

 

My little sister was very naughty. Then my mother gave her some old books and the scissors, and my little sister began to cut out pictures. She cut out a dog and a cat, a brown bear and a red fox. She cut out some flowers and many other pictures.

 

Then she saw a big box on a chair. She opened the box and saw a beautiful dress with pretty blue flowers on it. My naughty little sister wanted to cut out only one flower. She did so. She liked it and began to cut out many flowers.

 

Suddenly my mother came in. She got very angry.

 

“You are a bad girl, she said. “That was my best dress. I will not give you the scissors again.” And she didn’t.
