“Miss Polly actually stamped her foot in irritation.
"There you go like the rest," she shouted. "What game?"
At last Nancy told her all about the story of how the crutches arrived instead of a doll, and how Pollyanna's father had taught her that there was always something to be glad about.
Miss Polly couldn't believe it.
"How can someone ever be glad of crutches?" she demanded to know.
"Simple" said Nancy.
"In Pollyanna's case, she could be glad she didn't need them!”
~ Eleanor H. Porter, Pollyanna
