At six o'clock，Beth put a pair of slippers by the fire to warm and Meg lit the lamp．Amy got out of the comfortable chair without being asked， and Jo forgot how tired she was and held the slippers closer to the fire．
'These are old， she said．'Mother needs a new pair．'
'I'll get her some with my dollar，'said Beth．
'No，I shall！'cried Amy．
'I'm the oldest—'began Meg．
'I'm the man of the family now Father is away， and I shall buy tnem，'said Jo．
'Let's each get her something and not get anything for ourselves，'said beth．
'That's a kind idea！'said Jo．'What shall we get？'
Everyone thought for a moment，then Meg said，'I'll give her a nice pair of gloves．'
'The best army slippers，said Jo．
'Some handkerchiefs，'said Beth．
'A little bottle of perfume，'said Amy．'It won't cost much， so I'll have some money left to buy something for me．'
6点钟，白丝把一双拖鞋放到火边烘烤，麦格点亮了灯。并没有人说什么，艾米就从那张舒服的椅子上爬起来，琼已忘记了她的疲惫。她将拖鞋放到离火近的地方。
“这太旧了，”她说，“妈妈需要一双新拖鞋”。
“我要用我的钱给她买，”白丝道。
“不，我来买！”艾米大喊。
“我最大——”麦格开口了。
“现在爸爸不在，我就是家里的男人，我来买拖鞋，”琼说。
“咱们每人都给她买些东西吧，什么都不要给自己买了，”白丝建议道。
“那是个好主意！”琼说，“那我们买什么呢？”
每个人都思索了片刻，然后麦格说：“我要给她买一副很好的手套。”
“我要买最好的军用拖鞋，”琼说。
“我想买一些手帕，”白丝说。
“我会买一小瓶香水，”艾米道，“那不会很贵，所以我还会剩点钱给自己买些东西。”

Reflections: All the four girls care a lot about their mother. They would rather buy a Christmas gift for her than get themselves something. They want to look after their mother in place of their father. Good daughters! I admire the mother indeed .
