a good girl

Ellen was eleven years old.she liked playing by the river better than anything else.i could play her all day,she said to herself while she was splashing in the water.just then she saw an old woman walking up the path,she had a big bundle of wood on her back.she walked a few step and rested.then she walked a few more steps and rested,the next she walked and almost fell down.
she must be very tired,thought Ellen to herself.maybe she is sick,Ellen ran to the old woman and helped her to carry the bundle.The old man smiled to Ellen.they reached the old woman house that was made of mud tricks and it has a thatched roof.there was no water in the water pot and firewood.Ellen helped the woman to fetch water and collect the firewood
