Little Fox Anne of Green Gables, Chapter 13.
2
Anne in Trouble Again Marilla walked home one late April evening and realized happily that winter was over.
3
She looked affectionately at Green Gables and looked forward to a warm fire and a cup of tea with Anne.
4
When she got home, the fire wasn't lit,
5
and there was no sign of Anne anywhere.
6
Marilla was disappointed and irritated.
7
By the time Marilla got dinner ready,
8
it was dark, and Anne had still not come home.
9
Marilla went upstairs and found Anne lying on the bed,
10
face down among the pillows.
11
My goodness, said the astonished Marilla.
12
Have you been asleep, Anne?
13
No, was the muffled reply.
14
Are you sick then? asked Marilla anxiously.
15
Marilla moved closer to the bed.
16
No, but please, Marilla, go away and don't look at me.
17
I'll never be able to go anywhere again.
18
Anne Shirley, what's the matter? said Marilla.
19
Anne turned over.
20
Look at my hair, Marilla, she whispered.
21
Marilla lifted her candle and looked closely.
22
Anne's hair certainly looked very strange.
23
Anne, what have you done?
24
Why, your hair is green.
25
And it was green.
26
Never in all her life had Marilla seen anything so ugly as Anne's hair at that moment.
27
Yes, it's green, moaned Anne.
28
I thought nothing could be as bad as red hair.
29
But now I know it's ten times worse to have green hair.
30
Anne, Marilla said, I've been expecting something to happen because you haven't done anything strange for two months.
31
How did your hair turn green?
32
I dyed it.
33
Dyed it?
34
You dyed your hair?
35
Marilla looked at Anne sternly.
36
Well, continued Marilla sarcastically.
37
I would have dyed it a decent color at least.
38
I wouldn't have dyed it green.
39
He said it would turn my hair a beautiful raven black.
40
protested Anne.
41
Who said that?
42
The peddler that was here this afternoon.
43
I bought the dye from him.
44
Anne Shirley, this is what your vanity has done.
45
Now give your hair a good wash, Marilla said.
46
Anne washed her hair, but it made no difference.
47
Oh, Marilla, what can I do?
48
People have forgotten my other mistakes.
49
Shouting at Mrs. Lynde, making Diana drunk,
50
jumping on Miss Barry and cracking a slate on Gilbert Blythe.
51
But they'll never forget this one.
52
For the next week, Anne went nowhere and washed her hair every day.
53
At the end of the week,
54
Marilla said firmly, It's no use, Anne.
55
Your hair must be cut off.
56
Anne nodded and wept.
57
Marilla's haircut was very thorough,
58
and the result was not pretty.
59
Anne's hair was quite short and it made a sensation in school on Monday
60
but to her relief nobody guessed the real reason behind her
61
haircut however Josie Pye did tell Anne she looked like a
62
scarecrow a few weeks later the girls were standing at the brook.
63
In the brook was a small boat.
64
It was Anne's idea that they act out a poem.
65
You must be the lily maid, Anne, said Diana.
66
I'm not brave enough to float down the river.
67
But it's ridiculous to have a red-headed lily maid, said Anne.
68
Your hair is much darker since you cut it, said Diana earnestly.
69
really exclaimed
70
and flushing with delight then she went back to deciding the
71
parts for their skit I'll be the lily maid she agreed reluctantly Ruby you be King Arthur
72
and Diana must be Lance a lot
73
and lay down in the boat closed her eyes
74
and folded her hands on her chest she really looks dead
75
whispered Ruby Gillis instead of lilies Diana placed a posy of violets in Anne's hands.
76
Now she's ready, said Ruby.
77
The girls kissed the lily maid and pushed the boat off.
78
For a few minutes, as the boat slowly drifted,
79
Anne enjoyed the romance of her journey.
80
Then something very unromantic happened.
81
The boat began to leak.
82
The lily maid was forced to get up and look at the big crack through which water was pouring.
83
Anne gave a gasping little scream that nobody heard
84
and then she went pale but she stayed calm there was one chance just one
85
anne prayed that the boat would keep drifting toward the bridge and float near one of its columns
86
the columns were made of old tree trunks with branch stubs that she could sit on
87
anne's prayer was answered the boat drifted under the bridge and and scrambled onto a column
88
She sat there with no way of getting up or down.
89
The boat kept drifting and then sank.
90
Ruby and Diana waded farther down the brook,
91
and they saw the boat disappear underwater.
92
They went white as sheets, shrieked, and ran off.
93
For the unlucky Lily made,
94
the minutes ticked by, each one like an hour.
95
Why didn't someone come?
96
Where had her friends gone?
97
Suppose nobody came.
98
Just when Anne thought she could hold on no longer,
99
Gilbert Blythe rode toward her.
100
Anne, Shirley, how did you get there? he exclaimed.
101
He helped Anne into his boat.
102
She sat there furious and soaking wet.
103
What happened? asked Gilbert.
104
We were playing and I was the lily maid,
105
Anne said, not even looking at Gilbert.
106
I had to float to Camelot,
107
I mean, down the brook.
108
The boat leaked, and I had to get out.
109
Can you roll me to the bank? asked Anne.
110
Gilbert obliged.
111
I'm very grateful, said Anne haughtily.
112
Anne, he said quickly, I'm sorry I made fun of your hair.
113
It was only a joke.
114
Besides, it was so long ago.
115
Can't we be friends?
116
For a moment, Anne hesitated.
117
Her heart gave a strange, quick little beat.
118
But then the scene of two years ago flashed in her head like it had happened yesterday.
119
She hated Gilbert Blythe.
120
She would never forgive him.
121
No, she said coldly.
122
I will never be friends with you, Gilbert Blythe.
123
All right.
124
Gilbert went down to his boat, his cheeks red.
125
I'll never ask you to be friends again, Anne Shirley.
126
And I don't care either he rode away furiously as Anne walked home she held her head high
127
but she was conscious of an odd feeling regret
128
Anne of Green Gables, Chapter 14, The Queen's Class.
129
Marilla put her knitting on her lap.
130
Her eyes were tired again.
131
Anne was curled up on the rug in front of the fire.
132
Marilla looked at her with tenderness.
133
Anne had no idea of how much Marilla loved her.
134
Anne sometimes thought Marilla was hard to please and lacked understanding,
135
but she always stopped that thought and remembered what she owed to Marilla.
136
Anne, Marilla said abruptly.
137
Miss Stacy was here this afternoon.
138
Was she?
139
Why? asked Anne.
140
She came to talk about you, answered Marilla.
141
About me?
142
Anne looked rather scared.
143
Then she flushed and exclaimed,
144
Oh, I know what she said.
145
I meant to tell you,
146
Marilla, honestly I did, but I forgot.
147
Miss Stacy caught me reading Ben-Hur in school when I should have been studying Canadian history.
148
I was reading it at lunch and was at the chariot race when lunch ended.
149
I was dying to know what happened.
150
So I opened my history book and put Ben-Hur on my lap.
151
It looked like I was studying history.
152
I was so interested in it that I never noticed Miss Stacy looking down at me.
153
I was very ashamed, Marilla,
154
especially when I heard Josie Pie giggling.
155
Marilla listened with a frown.
156
Miss Stacy didn't mention that, Anne.
157
It's just your guilty conscience.
158
Miss Stacy wants to organize a class of students to study for the entrance exam of Queens College.
159
She asked Matthew and me if we would like you to join it.
160
Would you like to go to Queens College and become a teacher, Anne?
161
Oh, Marilla!
162
Anne got up from the rug.
163
I'd love to be a teacher, but isn't it expensive?
164
Don't worry about that, Marilla said.
165
Education is important for girls as much as boys.
166
Oh, thank you, Marilla.
167
I'll study as hard as I can,
168
though I warn you not to expect much in geometry, Anne said.
169
The Queen's class was organized.
170
Gilbert Blythe, Anne Shirley, Ruby Gillis,
171
Josie Pye, and Charlie Sloan joined.
172
Diana Berry did not, as her parents did not intend to send her to Queen's College.
173
It was the first time that Diana and Anne had been separated in anything.
174
When the Queen's class stayed after school for extra lessons,
175
Anne saw Diana leave slowly with the others.
176
A lump came into Anne's throat,
177
and she hid behind her Latin book to hide the tears in her eyes.
178
She would never let Gilbert Blythe or Josie Pye see those tears.
179
Anne enjoyed the Queen's class very much.
180
She chatted away to Marilla.
181
Jane and Ruby are studying to be teachers.
182
Ruby says she'll study for two years and then get married.
183
Jane says she'll never marry because you are paid for teaching,
184
but a husband won't pay you anything.
185
What is Gilbert Blythe going to be? asked Marilla.
186
I don't know what Gilbert's ambition is,
187
if he has one, said Anne scornfully.
188
Since the day Gilbert had rescued Anne from the bridge and she had not forgiven him,
189
Gilbert had steadily ignored Anne.
190
He talked and joked with the other girls and sometimes walked them home,
191
but he simply ignored Anne,
192
and Anne found that it was not pleasant to be ignored.
193
Mrs. Lind came to Green Gables one afternoon to find out why Marilla had not come to visit her.
194
Matthew had chest pains, Marilla explained.
195
And I thought I shouldn't leave him.
196
He's all right now, but he gets chest pains more often.
197
Sit down, Rachel.
198
Will you stay for tea?
199
Mrs. Lind and Marilla ate some biscuits Anne had made.
200
Mrs. Lind thought the biscuits were delicious.
201
Anne has turned out to be a real smart girl, admitted Mrs. Lynde.
202
She must be a great help.
203
She is, said Marilla.
204
And she's steady and reliable, too.
205
I was afraid she'd never stop her daydreaming, but she has.
206
I trust her with anything now, Mrs. Lynde continued.
207
Yes, she really improved these three years, especially in looks.
208
You could even say she's pretty.
209
Anne enjoyed her vacation thoroughly.
210
She and Diana spent most of the time outdoors, walking, rowing, and wandering.
211
When September came, she was ready to study.
212
The Queen's exam loomed.
213
Anne had a nightmare where she was staring at the pass list for the exam.
214
Gilbert's name was on top,
215
and her name was absent.
216
The school year passed quickly.
217
Soon June came, and the Queen's exams were held in Charlottetown.
218
Dearest Diana, wrote Anne in a letter back home to her friend.
219
Today we had the history and geometry exam.
220
Geometry was hard.
221
Josie Pye said the geometry was so easy a ten-year-old could have done it.
222
Oh, Diana, I wish you were here with me.
223
Anne returned to Avonlea and waited for the results to be published in the newspaper.
224
While she wanted to beat Gilbert Blythe,
225
she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Marilla, especially Matthew.
226
who said she would beat the whole island.
227
That would only happen in her wildest dreams.
228
But she hoped she would be among the top ten students.
229
Finally, Anne saw Diana racing to Green Gables with a newspaper in her hand.
230
Anne sprang to her feet.
231
The past list had been printed.
232
Anne's head whirled.
233
Anne, you've passed!
234
Diana cried.
235
Passed first!
236
You and Gilbert both!
237
You've tied!
238
Oh, I'm so proud!
239
Anne grabbed the paper.
240
Yes, she had passed.
241
There was her name at the very top of a list of 200.
242
That moment was worth living for.
243
Everyone from Avonlea had passed.
244
They hurried to tell Matthew and Marilla.
245
Oh, Matthew, exclaimed Anne.
246
I've passed and I'm first,
247
or one of the first.
248
I'm not vain, but I'm thankful.
249
Well, now, I've always said it,
250
said Matthew, gazing at the list happily.
251
I knew you could beat them all.
252
You've done pretty well, I must say,
253
Anne, said Marilla, trying to hide her extreme pride.
254
We're all proud of you.
255
you

This approach involves repeating phrases after the speaker, which helps improve fluency and intonation. In this episode, the character Anne experiences a comical yet challenging moment with her hair turning green, providing an opportunity to explore humor in language. Shadowing this content allows learners to understand not only vocabulary but also the emotional undertones present in conversational English.
Moreover, practicing with this video enables learners to develop their voice modulation and enhance their expression by mimicking the characters' emotions, making it a fun and effective way to improve English pronunciation. Whether you are working on your comprehension skills or looking to increase your speaking confidence, this video serves as an excellent resource.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
This video contains several useful grammatical structures and expressions that can benefit English learners:
- Have you been + [verb]? - This structure is essential for asking about recent actions. For example, when Marilla asks Anne, "Have you been asleep?" it highlights the present perfect tense.
- I thought + [clause] - Anne uses this to express a previous assumption, as in "I thought nothing could be as bad as red hair." This is a common way to share past beliefs or expectations that have changed.
- What have you done? - This question illustrates the use of the present perfect tense to inquire about actions with consequences in the present, making it a relevant structure in everyday conversations.
- It’s [adjective] to have [something] - Anne states, "It's ten times worse to have green hair," demonstrating a comparative structure that can help learners articulate opinions or feelings about various topics.
By understanding these structures, learners will be better equipped to construct complex sentences and engage in more meaningful conversations.
Common Pronunciation Traps
While exploring this engaging transcript, learners may encounter some pronunciation challenges that are key to mastering English speaking skills:
- "I dyed it" vs. "I died it" - The past tense of "dye" can be a trap, as learners might confuse it with the pronunciation of "die". Ensuring clarity in vowel sounds is crucial.
- "Beautiful raven black" - The phrase might be tricky due to its rhythmic quality. Practicing the flow can help learners achieve a more natural sound.
- "What can I do?" - The rising and falling intonation in this question adds an emotional layer that can be challenging for non-native speakers. Shadow speech exercises focusing on intonation can assist in mastering this aspect.
Employing the shadowing technique while focusing on these pronunciation traps will significantly aid in enhancing your overall speaking skills and improve English pronunciation.
