Anne of Green Gables (Oxford Bookworms Library: Stage 2: 700 Headwords)

Marilla Cuthbert and Matthew wanted to take an orphan to help with a farm in Green Gables. If I thought a boy would be good, it was a girl named Anne, who had red hair and a lot of freckles, which was kind of talkative. Even though he didn't want a girl, it wouldn't be a parcel, and he wouldn't be able to send it back. So Anne stayed in the lifeless and quiet village of Avonlea in Canada and started a new life. But since Anne came, the village has been as quiet as before. MRS. RACHEL LYNDE lived just where the Avonlea main road dipped down into a little hollow, fringed with alders and ladies' eardrops and traversed by a brook that had its source away back in the woods of the old Cuthbert place; it was reputed to be an intricate, headlong brook in its earlier course through those woods, with dark secrets of pool and cascade; but by the time it reached Lynde's Hollow it was a quiet, well-conducted little stream, for not even a brook could run past Mrs. Rachel Lynde's door without due regard for decency and decorum; it probably was conscious that Mrs. Rachel was sitting at her window, keeping a sharp eye on everything that passed, from brooks and children up, and that if she noticed anything odd or out of place she would never rest until she had ferreted out the whys and wherefores thereof.
