| Blanche has an evil sister and mother. One
day her sister sends her to get water from the well. When Blanche gets to the well, she
sees an old lady and helps her get some water. When Blanche returns home, her sister
is so mad because the water is warm. Her mother starts to scold her, so Blanche runs
far away until she finds the old lady again. The old lady says, " Why are you
crying my dear child?"
"My mother and sister yelled at me because the water was
warm," Blanche replied.
"You can come home with me, dear child, but you have to promise
not to laugh at anything. Okay?" Blanche promises, but when she goes to the old
lady's house, she can't believe that it is... I can't tell you, so read this book. I
strongly recommend this book to children who have their parents read to them at night
because it's a great book to read by yourself and aloud.
