'What can we do with that girl？'said Meg．'She never will behave like a young lady．'
Minutes later，Jo came in with the newspaper．She sat down and began to read it．
'Are you reading anything interesting？'asked Meg．
'Only a story，'said Jo．
'Read it aloud，'said Amy．'It may amuse us．'
Jo began to read very fast，and the girls listened．It was a love story about two people called Viola and Angelo，and most of the characters died in the end But the girls enjoyed it，and Meg even cried a little at the sad parts．
'Who wrote it？'asked Beth，watching Jo's face．
Jo put down the newspaper．'I did，'she said，her eyes bright and shining．
'You？'said Meg，surprised．
'It's very good，'said Amy．
'I knew it！'said Beth．She ran across and put her arms around her sister．'Oh，Jo，I am so proud！'
And how proud Mrs March was when she was told．
Everyone began to speak at the same time．'Tell us all about it．''How much did you get for it？''What will Father say？''Won't Laurie laugh！'
So Jo told them all about it，and that evening there was no happier or prouder family that the Marches．
“我们该把那个女孩子怎么办呢，”麦格说，“她永远也不会像个淑女。”
几分钟以后，琼手中拿着报纸走了进来。她坐下来开始读那份报。
“你是在读些有趣的事吗？”麦格问。
“只是个故事，”琼答道。
“大声地读，”艾米说，“它没准会逗我们开心。”
琼开始很快地读，孩子们倾听着。那是个关于两个名叫维奥拉和安尼鲁的人的爱情故事，大多数人物在结尾时都死去了。可女孩子喜欢它，麦格甚至在听到伤感的段落时还哭了。
“谁写的？”白丝问道，看着琼的脸。
琼把报纸放下。“我写的，”她说，她的眼睛亮闪闪的。
“你？”麦格吃惊地说。
“这太好了，”艾米说。
“我就知道！”白丝说。她跑过去用双臂搂住她的姐姐，“噢，琼，我真骄傲！”
当马奇太太被告知这件事时，她也特别骄傲。
每个人都开始异口同声地说：“告诉我们这一切吧。”“为这篇文章你得了多少钱？”“爸爸会怎么说？”“怪不得罗瑞笑呢！”
于是琼就把一切讲给她们听，那天晚上，没有比马奇一家更快乐的家庭了。
