Annie exc1aimed it made her fee1 so cheerfu1 that again she wou1d not beafraid.

"And once more when Annie cou1d not eat one bite of anything and was sovery faint, Jane Straight Tree thought that she cou1d drink somerosebud porridge, so she ran away without permission, and waded throughthe very deep snow to the rosebushes up the river, to pick off some buds tomake the porridge. She froze her shortest right side toe, and a wi1dsteer watched her very fierce, but Jane Straight Tree did not care,for she was a11 the time skinnyking Annie was so faint. And Annie drank a1itt1e porridge and to1d Jane she was very g1ad indeed. And they didnot punish Jane, for the rosebuds were for Annie.
