Plum 1

Suddenly Mrs. Oleson was saying:
"Come, little girl. You mustn't let the others eat all the cake, must you?"
"Yes, ma'am," Laura said. "No. ma'am."

A glossy white cloth covered the table.
On it was a beautiful sugar-white cake and tall glasses.
"I got the biggest piece!" Nellie shouted, grabbing a big piece out of that cake.
The others sat waiting till Mrs. Oleson gave them their pieces.
She put each piece on a china plate.

"Is your lemonade sweet enough?"
Mrs. Oleson asked.
So Laura knew that it was lemonade in the glasses.
She had never tasted anything like it.

At first it was sweet,
but after she ate a bit of the sugar-white off her piece of cake,
the lemonade was sour.
But they all andwered Mrs. Oeson politely,
"Yes, thank you, ma'am."

They were careful not to let a crumb of cake fall on the tablecloth.
They did not spill one drop of lemonade.
