Here's my chance! Oh, she's so pretty .I need her to talk to me! Will it work? "Carrots!" Gil yanked on Anne's be pigtailed head. In response, he felt something hard striking his head.
"Owww!"
"Serves you right!" As a result, Anne and Gil were forced to sit with each other for the rest of the year.
"The nerve of that boy" Anne yelled, slamming the door to Green Gables.
"Which boy, Sweetheart?" Bertha responded.
"Gilbert Blythe! He pulled my hair and called me carrots! Before I knew what I was doing, I broke my slate over his head and the teacher is forcing us to sit together for the rest of the year!" She wailed.
"Now, now, don't be silly." Marilla entered the room.
"Gran, he's nothing more than a barbarian!"
"Gilbert, what did you get yourself into this time?" John asked.
"It's that new girl. All I wanted to do is talk to her and she goes all ballistic! Her hair does remind me of carrots!"
"I know its' hard, son, but you have to learn how to treat a girl. Your mother would have been able to handle this situation better than I can."
