Tales of Little Women

Every day Beth goes next door to play Mr. Laurence's piano. She wants to make him a pair of slippers as a gift but cannot afford the materials.

Though Mr. Laurence seems a stern and frightening presence to timid Beth, he is touched and delighted by her music and kindness.

Though sweets are forbidden, Amy's school friends enjoy sneaking treats during recess.

Laurie invites Jo and Meg to the theater to see a play. Amy is hurt at being left out and decides to get even with Jo.

Amy and Jo have not spoken since Amy destroyed Jo's manuscript, and Amy is feeling remorseful.

Jo and Laurie rescue Amy from the freezing river. Jo blames herself for the accident, since her disagreement with Amy kept her from warning her sister about the thin ice.

Jo works for her beloved but crotchety Aunt March.

Laurie invites the March sisters to a lakeside picnic. They have a wonderful time at the outing and begin some enduring new friendships.

Amy goes fishing with John's young brother Tom hoping for a dinner of trout. She has a happy time but becomes very tired and falls asleep.

Unable to sleep, Meg goes to Jo's room for a late night talk. Meg, Jo decides, has fallen in love with Laurie's tutor, Mr. Brooke.

Jo waits impatiently after delivering her novel to the newspaper office.
