Little Fox Pollyanna Chapter 4 The Attic Room When Pollyanna arrived,
2
Miss Polly was reading in her sitting room.
3
She didn't bother to stand up, but extended a hand for Pollyanna to shake.
4
How do you do, Pollyanna?
5
I...
6
Pollyanna raced across the room and threw her arms around her startled relative.
7
Aunt Polly, I'm so glad you're letting me live with you.
8
Pollyanna sobbed with relief, burying her face in Aunt Polly's lap.
9
I'm sure that's true.
10
Aunt Polly tried to loosen Pollyanna's grip around her waist.
11
Please be good enough to stand up straight.
12
I don't even know what you look like.
13
Pollyanna stood up at once.
14
I should explain why I'm wearing red instead of black.
15
I told Nancy how Father said.
16
Never mind what he said, Aunt Polly interrupted.
17
You've brought a trunk, I assume?
18
Yes, indeed.
19
I don't have many things of my own.
20
But the ladies' aiders thought I should bring Father's books, and...
21
Pollyanna!
22
Aunt Polly interrupted again.
23
There's something we should get straight right away.
24
I don't want to hear anything about your father Pollyanna looked startled You mean nothing at all?
25
It's time to go upstairs to your room aunt Polly said changing the subject
26
Silently Pollyanna followed her aunt from the sitting room Her eyes were filled with tears,
27
but she bravely held her chin high She thought Aunt Polly was probably being kind.
28
I'm glad Aunt Polly doesn't want to talk about father, Pollyanna thought.
29
Maybe if I don't talk about him, I won't miss him so much.
30
They were in an upstairs hallway now, and Pollyanna eagerly admired the thick rugs and pictures in gold frames.
31
Open doors offered glimpses into beautifully furnished bedrooms with lace curtains at the windows.
32
Pollyanna couldn't wait to see which bedroom was hers.
33
Oh, Aunt Polly, you have so many pretty things.
34
You must be glad you're rich, Pollyanna exclaimed.
35
Pollyanna!
36
Aunt Polly scolded.
37
We do not talk about money in this family.
38
Aunt Polly's instinct had been to put her niece as far away from herself as possible.
39
She knew children were careless, so the attic was perfect.
40
It contained nothing valuable that Pollyanna could ruin.
41
Now that Aunt Polly had met Pollyanna, she'd seen that this girl was very interested in money and possessions.
42
Her instinct had been right.
43
Aunt Polly opened a door, and they went upstairs into the dim, hot attic.
44
Pollyanna couldn't imagine why Aunt Polly was taking her someplace where it was hard to breathe.
45
Here's your room, Aunt Polly said, opening a door.
46
I see Tom has brought up your trunk.
47
Do you have the key?
48
Pollyanna nodded.
49
Her eyes were wide with fright.
50
When I ask a question, Pollyanna, I'd like you to speak.
51
Yes, Aunt Polly.
52
Thank you.
53
That's better.
54
Aunt Polly glanced at the water pitcher which Nancy had filled.
55
I believe you have everything you need.
56
I'll send Nancy to help you unpack.
57
Supper is at six o'clock.
58
Aunt Polly abruptly went downstairs, leaving Pollyanna alone.
59
When Nancy came up a few minutes later, she found Pollyanna sobbing.
60
Oh, you poor lamb.
61
Nancy dropped to the floor and hugged Pollyanna.
62
Let's hang up your dresses.
63
I don't have many.
64
Then it'll be a quick job, Nancy said.
65
Pollyanna suddenly smiled.
66
Well, I can be glad about
67
that nancy didn't know how to respond she quickly unpacked pollyanna's patched underwear and out of style dresses
68
nancy suspected they'd all come from the donation box
69
this will be a nice room pollyanna said looking out a window don't you think I'm glad there isn't a mirror,
70
because now I can't see my freckles.
71
And the view from this window is better than any picture.
72
I'm so glad Aunt Polly let me have this room.
73
To Pollyanna's surprise, Nancy stifled a sob and ran downstairs.
74
Left alone, Pollyanna opened the window and let in the cool, fresh air, along with some flies.
75
She smiled mischievously as she studied the tree outside.
76
I bet I could climb down this tree.
77
An hour later, the hall clock struck six, and Nancy rang the bell for supper.
78
Five minutes passed and there was no sign of Pollyanna.
79
Aunt Polly stepped into the hall and listened intently.
80
For a moment she waited, tapping her foot impatiently.
81
Then she swept into the dining room.
82
Pollyanna.
83
Chapter 5.
84
The Game.
85
Aunt Polly was sitting alone in the dining room when Nancy brought in supper.
86
My niece will have to suffer the consequences for being late, Aunt Polly said.
87
When Pollyanna comes downstairs, she may have bread and milk in the kitchen.
88
Yes, ma'am.
89
Nancy made a face, but fortunately, Aunt Polly didn't catch her.
90
Right after supper, Nancy crept up the back stairs to the attic.
91
The poor lamb probably cried herself to sleep, Nancy said.
92
She softly opened Pollyanna's door.
93
The next moment she gave a frightened cry.
94
Pollyanna, where are you?
95
Nancy looked in the closet, under the bed, and even in the trunk.
96
Then she flew downstairs and out to the garden.
97
Tom, Pollyanna is missing!
98
What?
99
Tom stopped tying some roses to a trellis.
100
He scanned the horizon and pointed to a small figure silhouetted against the evening sky.
101
There she is, on top of that hill.
102
Oh no, Miss Polly will see her, Nancy said.
103
I don't want her to get a scolding.
104
She's already in trouble for missing supper.
105
By the time Nancy reached Pollyanna, the older girl was out of breath.
106
Pollyanna, you gave me a scare!
107
Nancy said, panting.
108
I didn't know where you were.
109
You don't need to worry about me, Pollyanna said as they came down the hill, hand in hand.
110
Father and the ladies' aiders used to worry when I wandered off.
111
Then they realized I always came back.
112
How did you leave your room without anyone seeing you?
113
Nancy asked.
114
I climbed down the tree outside my window.
115
Oh my goodness!
116
Nancy exclaimed.
117
I'd like to know what your aunt would say about that.
118
Pollyanna patted Nancy's arm.
119
Then I'll tell Aunt Polly so you can find out.
120
Nancy's eyes widened in alarm.
121
No, no, don't do that.
122
Pollyanna looked surprised, but she nodded.
123
You must be hungry, Nancy said quickly.
124
But Miss Polly said you must eat bread and milk in the kitchen because you were late for supper.
125
I like bread and milk, Pollyanna said happily as they entered the kitchen.
126
And I won't have any trouble being glad about eating with you.
127
Nancy remembered Pollyanna's brave attempt to like her attic room.
128
You don't have any trouble being glad about most things.
129
Pollyanna laughed softly.
130
That's the whole point of the game.
131
The game?
132
Nancy gave Pollyanna a puzzled look as she set bread and milk on the table.
133
Yes, the glad game.
134
Father and I played it all the time.
135
Pollyanna took a big drink of milk.
136
It all started when I wanted a doll.
137
Every week, Father looked in the donation box at church.
138
There were all kinds of toys and clothes and other things in there, but no doll.
139
Finally, he brought home a pair of crutches that were just my size.
140
Crutches?
141
Nancy said.
142
Yes!
143
Pollyanna clapped her hands with glee.
144
It wasn't a doll, but Father said, just be glad you don't need crutches.
145
And so we began playing a game to find things to be glad about.
146
Sometimes it's difficult to think of something, but that makes the game even more fun.
147
Nancy was still skeptical.
148
It's going to be harder to play the game without father, Pollyanna admitted.
149
But maybe Aunt Polly will play it with me.
150
I don't think so, Nancy blurted out.
151
Noticing the disappointment on Pollyanna's face, she quickly made a promise.
152
But I'll do my best to play it with you.
153
That satisfied Pollyanna, who finished up her bread and milk.
154
Then she went into the sitting room, where Aunt Polly was reading.
155
It's time for bed, Aunt Polly said.
156
I regret having to punish you on your first day here.
157
I was glad you did, Aunt Polly.
158
I like bread and milk, and Nancy, too.
159
So don't feel bad about that.
160
Pollyanna gave her aunt an affectionate hug.
161
I've had a wonderful time so far.
162
I know I'm going to love living with you.
163
Good night.
164
What an unusual child, Aunt Polly said to herself as Pollyanna ran from the room.
165
But a few minutes later, Pollyanna was sobbing herself to sleep.
166
Oh, father, she said softly.
167
Even you would have trouble being glad about sleeping way up here by yourself.
168
Pollyanna, Chapter 6, Flies and Schedules When Pollyanna awoke the next morning,
169
it was a beautiful day.
170
Through an open window, she spotted Aunt Polly and Tom in the garden.
171
Pollyanna ran outside and threw her arms around her aunt.
172
Aunt Polly!
173
Aunt Polly!
174
Today I'm glad just to be alive!
175
Is this how you usually say good morning?
176
Aunt Polly scolded, releasing herself from Pollyanna's grip.
177
Only to people I love.
178
Pollyanna danced around Aunt Polly, who tried to frown but failed.
179
You may finish trimming those roses, Aunt Polly said to Tom.
180
Then she hurried into the house.
181
You're so like your mother, little miss, said Tom, picking up his clippers.
182
I knew her when she was your age.
183
Pollyanna gasped.
184
You did?
185
Oh, please tell me all about her.
186
Tom had barely begun to speak when a bell sounded from the house.
187
The next minute, Nancy flew out the back door.
188
Hurry up!
189
Nancy pulled Pollyanna toward the house.
190
That bell means it's time to eat.
191
If you don't come quickly, it'll be hard to find anything to be glad about.
192
At the breakfast table, Aunt Polly and Pollyanna ate in silence.
193
As Nancy brought in more muffins, Aunt Polly noticed two flies.
194
Nancy!
195
Where did those flies come from?
196
I don't know, ma'am.
197
They're probably my flies.
198
Pollyanna said cheerfully.
199
A whole bunch of them were having a wonderful time in my room this morning.
200
Struggling not to laugh, Nancy left the room with the muffins.
201
Nancy!
202
Aunt Polly called.
203
Nancy returned with a serious look on her face and the muffins.
204
You may put down the muffins and close the windows in Miss Pollyanna's room, Aunt Polly said.
205
Pollyanna, keep those windows closed until we have screens.
206
Flies spread all kinds of diseases.
207
After breakfast, Aunt Polly handed Pollyanna a pamphlet on flies.
208
Pollyanna's eyes lit up when she saw an enlarged illustration of a fly's head.
209
Thank you, she exclaimed, skipping from the room.
210
A while later, Aunt Polly went up to Pollyanna's room.
211
Oh, Aunt Polly, I never read anything so interesting in my life, Pollyanna said with great enthusiasm.
212
I'm so glad you gave me that article.
213
I had no idea, flies.
214
That's enough, said Aunt Polly, who'd meant the pamphlet as punishment for opening the windows.
215
I'd like to examine your clothes to see if they're suitable for living here with me.
216
With great reluctance, Pollyanna opened her closet.
217
I'm afraid you'll think they're awful.
218
You see, they all came from the donation box at church.
219
Did you ever get your clothes from a donation box?
220
Seeing Aunt Polly's shocked face, Pollyanna quickly corrected herself. Of course not.
221
You're rich.
222
Though, in this room, it's easy for me to forget you're rich.
223
It was hard to play the game with my clothes, but Fav...
224
Pollyanna stopped when she remembered Aunt Polly didn't want to hear about her father.
225
Aunt Polly abruptly started examining Pollyanna's clothes.
226
I assume you went to school?
227
Yes, and sometimes Fav...
228
I mean, I was taught at home, too.
229
Aunt Polly looked stern.
230
You'll start school in the fall, but in the meantime you'll be on a strict schedule.
231
Every day before breakfast you'll tidy this room.
232
At nine o'clock you'll read aloud to me for half an hour.
233
On Wednesdays and Saturdays you'll spend the rest of the morning in the kitchen with Nancy, learning to cook.
234
On the other mornings I'll teach you to sew.
235
You'll spend your afternoons practicing the piano.
236
Pollyanna squirmed.
237
I don't really like playing the piano.
238
I'm sure that's true, but you will take piano lessons here.
239
Pollyanna sighed deeply.
240
With all these activities, you haven't left me time to just live.
241
You know, to climb hills and talk to Tom and explore the town.
242
Now it was Aunt Polly's turn to sigh.
243
I'm doing my duty by ensuring that you have proper care and instruction.
244
You must do your duty, too.
245
Don't waste these opportunities and don't be ungrateful.
246
There will be some time for play.
247
Aunt Polly was halfway down the stairs when Pollyanna called after her.
248
What did you think of my clothes?
249
We'll go shopping this afternoon.
250
If I let you appear in public in those clothes, I wouldn't be doing my duty.

Why Practice Speaking with This Pollyanna Video?
Practicing speaking with this video is like stepping into a real-life conversation—perfect for english speaking practice! The dialogue between Pollyanna and her aunt is full of natural, everyday interactions, from emotional outbursts to polite corrections. It’s ideal for shadow speech (repeating lines aloud as you hear them) because the pace is manageable, and the emotions make the language memorable. Whether you’re using a shadowing site or just your phone, this story helps you master tone, pauses, and context—skills that turn "textbook English" into real communication.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Let’s break down 3 key phrases that pop up in the conversation:
- "I assume?" Aunt Polly uses this to check a fact gently. It’s a great alternative to "Do you have...?" for more natural speech. Try shadowing it to sound confident but polite.
- "I’d like you to speak" This structure ("I’d like you to + verb") is useful for making requests clearly. Notice how Aunt Polly softens a command with "I’d like"—a trick for sounding less harsh.
- "Her eyes were filled with tears" Describing emotions? This phrase is more vivid than "She was crying." Practice saying it slowly to emphasize the imagery—perfect for storytelling.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Watch out for these tricky words in the video:
- "Startled" The "t" is soft—don’t over-pronounce it. It sounds like "star-uld," not "star-tled." Use the shadowing technique to mimic the smooth transition.
- "Instinct" The stress is on the first syllable: "IN-stinct," not "in-STINCT." Listen closely and repeat—this word trips up even advanced learners.
- "Attic" The "tt" is a quick, soft tap (like "a-tik"), not a hard "t." Shadowing this line ("the attic was perfect") will help you nail the casual tone.
Ready to try? Use the shadowspeaks method: play a line, pause, and repeat it immediately. Focus on matching the speed and emotion—you’ll be surprised how fast your speaking flows!
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
