　　Betty always thinks her village poor and would not stay there. So she went to a town and tried to find a job there. She is tall and strong, but she can't do anything. Mr Taylor's mother has been sick in bed for years. He and his wife have no time to look after her. So they employed the girl. At first she thought the Taylor's were kind to her and they had three meals with her together and worked hard. Nearly half a month later Mrs Taylor found the girl had a lot of shortcomings and made an excuse to let her go.

　　The day before yesterday Mr Taylor heard from Mr White, one of his friends. The man said in his letter he was going to employ Betty and he wondered how the girl had worked for them. Mr Taylor began to write to him.

　　“…She's lazy girl with bad manners,” he wrote. Then he turned to his wife and said, “Can you find out any good points of hers, dear?”
