My Naughty Little Sister Learns to Knit

When my sister was five and she went to school, a nice woman and her husband came to live near our house. The woman's name was Mrs. Jones.

But my little sister called her Mrs. Cocoa Jones. Do you know why my sister called her so?
In summer, when we had our school vacation, Nancy went to Mrs. Jones every morning at elev­en o'clock to drink cocoa. Mrs. Jones had no children, and she did not like to drink her cocoa alone. She liked to talk to my little sister. They were good friends. That is why my little sister called her Mrs. Cocoa Jones. Mrs. Cocoa Jones liked to knit.

She knitted many nice things for my sister and me and for our dolls, too. One day Mrs. Cocoa Jones said to my sister: " Do you want to learn to knit? " " Not very much, " said my sister. " But you can make presents for your mother, father and sister, " said Mrs. Jones.

" I like to make presents. Teach me to knit, " said my little sister.

Mrs. Jones gave my little sister some wool and two needles and showed her how to knit. But my little sister did not learn to knit well. She did not like to sit in one place, she liked to run and to play.

Mrs. Jones's husband was very nice, too. He liked to talk to my little sister. She was so funny. " Next month Mr. Jones will have a birthday, " said Mrs. Jones. " So I want to knit a present for him."

My little sister did not say a word, but she took some wool. She wanted to make a present for Mr. Jones, too. She wanted to knit a long scarf for him. She took yellow, green, red and blue wool and knitted a scarf. Her scarf was yellow and green, red and blue, but it was not long. It was short, because my little sister could not knit very well. She did not want to show us her scarf, so she knit­ted in the shed and in the garden under the apple-tree.

Nancy gave this scarf to Mr. Jones on his birth­day. " Thank you very much, " said Mr. Jones. " I like your scarf very much. It is very beautiful. I'll put it on only on holidays."
