      Although Zibo is still enjoying the great fame，the local government has begun to make longer-term plans.

      "She took it out a minute ago，"replied Jo.
      "There's Mother.Hide the basket，quick!"cried Jo，as door opened，and steps sounded in the hall.
      Amy hurried in，and looked rather ashamed（羞愧的） when she saw her sisters all waiting for her.
      "Where have you been，and what are you hiding behind you？"asked Meg，surprised to see that lazy Amy had been out so early.
      "You see，I felt ashamed of my present，so I ran round the corner and changed the little bottle for a big one and I gave all my money for it；and I'm truly trying not to be selfish any more."
      Another bang（砰砰作響） of the street door sent the girls to the table.
      "Merry Christmas，Marmee!Thank you for our books；we love them，"they said together.
      "Merry Christmas，little daughters!I'm glad you like the books.But I want to say one word before we sit down.Not far from here lies a poor woman with a little new-born baby.They were suffering hunger and cold.My girls，will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present？"
      They were all unusually hungry，having waited for nearly an hour，and for a minute no one spoke；only a minute，for Jo said，"I'm so glad you came before we began!"
