1 What is the relationship between Maggie and Tom?

2 Who is Mrs Tulliver?

3 What was Maggie's 'big idea'?

"Well, how are you? I hope you're good children, are you?" said Aunt Glegg. "Put your hair behind your ears, Maggie, and keep your dress on your shoulder."

"I think the girl has too much hair," Aunt Pullet said. "It should be thinner and cut shorter. It isn't good for her health.

"Maggie," said Mrs Tulliver, "go and brush your hair."

A big idea was taking shape in Maggie's mind. "Tom, come out with me," she whispered. "There's something I want to do before dinner."

Tom followed Maggie upstairs into their mother's room. She opened a drawer and took out a large pair of scissors.

"What are they for?" said Tom.

Maggie answered by taking the front part of her hair and cutting it straight across the middle of her forehead.

"Oh, Maggie, you'll be *in trouble!" exclaimed Tom.

Snip! went the scissors again, and Tom couldn't help feeling it was rather good fun. Maggie would look so weird.

"Here, Tom, cut it behind for me," said Maggie, excited by her own bravery.

"You'll be in trouble, you know," said Tom, as he took the scissors.

"Never mind, hurry!" said Maggie, giving a little *stamp with her foot. Her cheeks were red.

One delicious snip, and then another and another. The hair fell heavily on the floor, and Maggie stood there, badly *cropped but with a new sense of freedom.

in trouble: сәтсіздікке ұшырау; иметь непрятности
