1. _____ Now scoot, you two, for goodness' sakes! Up here, there's all outdoors!

2. _____ That one flower stood all alone in a patch of sun, one bright pink spot on the brown leaves under a maple tree.

3. _____ Could you keep a thousand mice in any box, or do you want them running all over your room and in and out of your pillowcases and everything. One year and you'd have seven thousand mice from that one drawerful!

4. _____ Summer looked like forever in front of you, and now it was almost gone. She hated the thought of leaving Maple Hill so much that she even hated the boxes Mother started to pack in.

5. _____ She even went out to the car and brought in a package of marshmallows she'd meant to roll in nuts and cholcolate for Christmas candy.

6. _____ In the dusk were five little foxes, playing together. They tumbled about like puppies. They chased each other.

7. _____ It was exciting to build a fire. She had never built a fire all by herself in her whole life. She filled the stove with things to burn and then she struck a match.

8. _____ "Smells like sweet corn cooking, only better," she said.

9. _____ There's a deer mouse that comes every day, cute as a button with white feet and huge ears-looks like a donkey, with those ears. He and I are great friends.

10. _____ The porch was heavy with snow and you could see where one step had fallen in. Huge snowy bushes hung over the railing. It looked as if nobody had lived there for a hundred years.

11. _____ One arm got so tired she had to carry with the other; she got so she could even switch the full bucket from side to side without spilling much.

12. _____ Another careful step, and they all moved again. One spoke to her in a low voice. "Moooooooooo!"

13. _____ The house was of wooden planks, very plain, painted gray. The back door stood wide open, and flies buzzed gaily in and out of holes in the screen.

14. _____ Surprises were good, she thought. But a miracle was better when you knew it was coming. This year she knew. She knew exactly where the spring beauties would appear.
