The Golden Egg
“I don’t want to write a story about girls! I don’t know anything about girls,”Louisa May Alcott told her publisher,Mr. Niles.But she was desperate for money.She seemed to be the only one in her family who could make any money.Niles had asked her to write about something she knew,instead of the romantic adventure stories she had been writing.“So I plod away,”Alcott wrote.“though I don’t enjoy this sort of thing.”It was l867,and the horrible Civil War was over.Now Alcott could turn her energy to making money.
Alcott wrote a simple story of life in her family,their pillow fights on Saturday nights and the amateur(业余的)plays they performed.“Our experiences may prove interesting,though I doubt it.”(“Good joke,”she wrote years later.)Her book described her days growing up with four sisters in a family that had no money.She sketched a loving mother who took time to be interested in each child,and she told of the death of a beloved sister. She portrayed her family and friends in her book Little Women.Finally,in July of 1868,she finished writing.With a sigh and a headache,she sent off all 102 handwritten pages of her book.
Niles thought the book was dull,and so did Alcott.But when she received her copies of the book.Alcott thought it seemed better than expected.“Not a bit sensational,”she wrote,“but simple and true.We really lived most of it.”Niles asked some girls to read Little Women,and they loved it.If the girls liked it, Alcott was satisfied.
In three months,all the copies of Little Women had sold.It was already time to print more books! Niles thought he could sell three or four hundred more copies.”An honest publisher and a lucky author made a dull book into a golden egg for an ugly duckling,”Alcott wrote in 1885.Later,with a great sigh of relief,she was able to write,“Paid off all the debts! Now I feel that I could die in peace.If my head holds out,I'll do all I once hoped to do.”

It is the old man’s birthday today. Now he is sitting on a sofa alone. Maybe his wife has been dead. On the right side is a big birthday cake sent by his son. And there are also some presents given by his daughter on the left. Yet the old man doesn’t feel happy. Instead, he looks very sad because he is lonely.
Our life is getting better and better than before. Some people think that old people will be satisfied as long as they have enough to eat and drink. I think they are quite wrong. Old people easily get lonely because they have no work to do. We should spend time together with them and take care of them in every possible way.下载本文
