　　PART FOUR - LIFE AT MOOR HOUSE

　　CHAPTER NINETEEN

　　Finding a Home

　　It was getting dark again, and I was alone on the moor. Suddenly I saw a small light nearby. I guessed that the light meant there was a house, so I decided to try and find it. And finally I arrived at the house. Standing by the door, I could see into a small window. An old woman and two young ladies were sitting by the fire. The room looked so bright and clean and the women looked so kind that I decided to ask for their help. The old woman opened the door, but she would not let me speak to the young ladies. She closed the door firmly, leaving me alone in the darkness and cold. I fell on to the wed doorstep, worn out and hopeless. No one would help me, and I was so miserable that I was ready to die. But the young ladies' brother found me, when he came home a few minutes later. He brought me into the house, where the ladies gave me a meal and asked my name.
