Explore "The Flower Girl" by Anne Frank on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
At seven-thirty every morning the door of a cottage on the village outskirts swings open and out comes a rather small girl with a basket full of flowers on each arm. Once she's shut the door behind her, she adjusts the two baskets and sets off.
Every person in the village who sees her go by and receives one of her friendly nods can't help feeling sorry for her, and every day they think the same thing: 'It's too long and difficult a walk for a twelve-year-old child. ' But the little girl doesn't know what the villagers are thinking, so as quickly and as cheerfully as she can she walks on. and on.
