Uploaded | This story was written by Mary Norton. It is about very little people. They are called borrowers. They borrow from us. | |
Uploaded | Podd tells Arrietty that the locks and gates in their clock are there to keep her in. It is to keep her safe. | |
Uploaded | There are lots of dangerous things upstairs in the house. A cat would be very scary to a borrower! | |
Uploaded | But Arrietty isn’t afraid. She wants to see the world. She wants to go upstairs in the house. She wants to go outside. | |
Uploaded | Podd takes Arietty upstairs to go borrowing. He teaches her to take extra bags and look out for danger. | |
Uploaded | Arrietty sees the beautiful world upstairs. It is light. It is pretty. It is big. | |
Uploaded | Arrietty goes outside! She talks to her mom through the grate. Her mom is worried. | |
Uploaded | Uh oh! Arrietty is seen by a boy! He is 10 years old. Arrietty tells him she is 14 years old. But she is small and he is big. | |
Uploaded | The boy told Arrietty he saw a little man climbing on a curtain in the house. She told him that was Pod, her dad. | |
Uploaded | The boy says he helped Pod get the teacup. But is that stealing or borrowing? Arrietty tells him it is not stealing. | |
Uploaded | The boy says there are more big people. He tells her one day there will be no more borrowers left! | |
Uploaded | Arrietty tells the boy she has family that had to leave this house. Where are they? Are they safe? | |
Uploaded | The boy promises to take a letter to her family far away. They can write back. She will know if there are more borrowers. | |
Uploaded | Arrietty will teach the boy how to read to thank him for taking the letter. | |
Uploaded | What else can the boy tell Arrietty about the house and the outside world? |
