"LITTLE WOMAN" by Louisa May Alcott

This story had been  at the Civil War and that happens one of the Amarican families life.When  Christmas comes for the four March girls,there is no money for expensive presents and they give away their Christmas breakfast to a poor family. But there are no happier girls in America than Meg, Jo, Beth, and Any. They miss thier father of course, who is away at the Civil War, but they try hard to be good so that he will be proud of his "Little women" when he comes home.
At the  Christmas the four March girls decide that they will all try hard to be good and never to be cross, or lazy, or selfish again. Meg,the oldest, won`t argue and get angry and run wild like a boy. Shy Beth will try hard to be braver and little Amy will think less of herself and more other people.
They don`t always succeed, of course and sometimes there are arguments and secrets and angry tears. but there is also laughter and fun and soon a new friend- Laurie, the rich and lonely boy next door.
Many troubles and difficulties lie in the year ahead - and the girls are growing up.
They are very poor family.Their father had lost most of his money helping a friend. And Father went away the war and they dan`t know anything about him which he is alive or dead.  One day Meg said " Mother says we shouldn`t spend money on presents when our men are fighting a war. " We can`t expect anything from Mother or each other" said Jo, but we only have a dollar each and that won`t help the army much. Let's each buy ourselves what we want and have a little fun. Suddenly, no, no, no we will get something for our mother,let's each get her something and not anything for ourselves, said Beth. " That's  a kind idea and we'll let Mother think we're getting things for ourselves and then surprise her" said Jo. Mrs March arrived home soon after.and she cried "I've got a litter from Father!" . It was a letter to cheer them up and the special message for the girls came at the end: Give them all my love and a kiss. I think of them every day. I know they will be loving children to you and that when I come back, I will be prouder than ever of my little women. After they read message,they feel are very sad .
