Self-Training Work

Read the text very attentively, translate it and make up a plan to cover the plot of the story.

Jennie returned to Cleveland to help her mother move. Together they searched the streets for a nice, quiet neighborhoud, and finally found one. A house of nine rooms, with a yard, which rented for thirty dollars, was suitably furnished. There were comfortable fittings for the dining-room and sitting-room, a handsome parlour set and bedroom sets complete for each room. The kitchen was supplied with every convenience, and there was even a bathroom, a lu­xury the Gerhardts had never enjoyed before. Altogether the house was attractive, though plain, and Jennie was happy to know that her family could be comfortable in it.

When the time came for the actual moving Mrs. Gerhardt was fairly beside herself with joy, for was not this the realization of her dreams? All through the long years of her life she had been waiting, and now it had come. A new house, new furniture, plenty of room - things finer than she had ever even imagined - think of it! Her eyes shone as she looked at the new beds and tables and whatnots. "Dear, dear, isn't this nice!" she exclaimed. "Isn't it beautiful!" Jennie was so glad for her mother's sake.

The day the furniture was moved in Mrs Gerhardt, Martha and Veronica were on hand to clean and arrange things. At the sight of the large rooms and pretty yard, and new furniture, the whole family fell into a fever of delight. Such beauty! George rubbed his feet over the new car­pets and Bass examined the quality of the furniture critically. "Swell, "was his comment. Mrs Gerhardt could not believe that these bright bedrooms, this beautiful parlour, this handsome di­ning-room were actually hers.

Gerhardt came last of all. He looked around at the new carpets under his feet, the long oak extension table covered with a white cloth and set with new dishes, at the pictures on the walls, the bright, clean kitchen. He shook his head. "It's fine!" he said. "It's very nice. Yes, it's very nice. We want to be careful now not to break anything." Yes, even Gerhardt was satisfied.
