When Anne woke up the next morning, she felt happy. She
jumped out of bed and ran to the window.
It was a beautiful morning. The sun shone and the sky was
blue. Anne opened the window. Outside, there was a fruit tree
with beautiful flowers. Anne could see many other trees and
flowers, and a small river too.
"This is a wonderful place!" she thought. Then, suddenly,
she remembered. She felt very sad again. "But I can't stay here,"
she thought. "They don't want me because I'm not a boy."
Marilla came into the room. "Good morning, Anne," she said.
"Breakfast is waiting. Wash your face and put on your clothes."
"I'm feeling very hungry," Anne said. "I can never be sad in
the mornings. I love mornings."
After breakfast, Anne washed the plates and cups. Marilla
watched carefully, but Anne did the job well.
"This afternoon I'm going to drive to White Sands," Marilla
said. "You'll come with me, Anne, and we'll talk to Mrs. Spencer.
