　　CHAPTER FIVE

　　THE STRANGE CRY

　　--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　At first, each day at Misselthwaite Manor was exact]y the same. Mary woke up each morning and ate her breakfast in front of the fir with Martha. She stared out of the window at the wide, brown moor. Finally she would realize that if she didn"t go outside, she would have to stay in and do nothing. So she went out. She did not know that this was the best thing for her. When she began to walk or run around the gardens and paths, she was making herself stronger. The wind, which was very cold, fresh, and strong, put color in her cheeks and brightened her eyes. Mary hated the wind, and she ran only to make herself warmer. But she was becoming a little healthier, just by staying outside.

　　After a few days of being outside all day, Mary woke up in the morning feeling really bunny for the first time. When she sat down to her breakfast, she ate all of it. "You liked that this morning, didn"t you?" said Martha surprise.
