My little sister put on her new blue dress, blue socks and white shoes. She took her big doll out of the box. She wanted to play with Winnie and to show her all her toys.

At last Winnie and her mother came. Nancy ran to the door and opened it. Winnie had a blue dress and blue socks on. My little sister did not say "How do you do?" like (как) a good girl, but she said: "Blue socks, too."

Winnie's mother laughed. But Winnie did not laugh, she said: "How do you do?" She was a good girl.

My mother and Winnie's mother sat down on a bench in the garden and talked, and Winnie and my little sister went to play. My little sister showed her all the toys and the big doll, too.

"Do you like my doll?" asked my little sister.

But Winnie did not answer. She did not say a word.

"Can you talk?" asked my little sister.

"Yes, I can," answered Winnie. "Do you want to play with my toys?" asked my sister.

"No, thank you," said Winnie. "Do you want to run?" asked my sister.

"No, thank you. It is too hot," said Winnie. "Do you want to play hide-and-seek?" asked my sister. "No, thank you. I don't like hide-and-seek," said Winnie.

Winnie was six. She went to school. So she could read. The children went into the house.

Winnie took one of my books and began to read it. But my little sister did not go to school. She could not read. So she ran into the garden, picked apples and flowers, and when tea-time came, her hands were dirty, her face was dirty, and her dress was dirty, too.

My mother put a big cake on the table. She said to Winnie:

"Have some cakes, Winnie."

"Thank you," said Winnie, and she took a little piece of cake.

But my naughty little sister took a very big piece of cake.

She liked the cake very much.
