　　Matthew Cuthbert lived with his sister Marilla on their farm on Prince Edward Island in Canada．Their farmhouse，Green Gables，was just outside the little village of Avonlea．Matthew was nearly sixty and had a long brown beard．His sister was five years younger．They were both tall and thin，with dark hair．Everybody in Avonlea knew that the Cuthberts were quiet people who worked very hard on their farm．
　　One afternoon Matthew drove the horse and cart to the station．‘Has the five-thirty train arrived yet?’he asked the station-master．
　　‘Yes，’the man replied．‘And there's a passenger who's waiting for you．A little girl．’
　　'A little girl?’asked Matthew．‘But I've come for a boy! The children's home is sending us one of their orphan boys．We're going to adopt him，you see，and he's going to help me with the farm work．’
　　‘Well，perhaps the children's home didn't have any boys，so they sent you a girl，’answered the stationmaster carelessly．‘Here she is．’
　　Matthew turned shyly to speak to the child．She was about eleven，with long red hair in two plaits．Her face was small，white and thin，with a lot of freckles，and she had large grey-green eyes．She was wearing an old brown hat and a dress which was too small for her．
　　‘Are you Mr Cuthbert of Green Gables?’she asked excitedly in a high，sweet voice．‘I'm very happy to come and live with you，and belong to you．I've never belonged to anyone，you see．The people at the children's home were very kind，but it's not very exciting to live in a place like that，is it?’
