　　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.
