Marilla and Anne prepared for tea all Monday and Tuesday. They made a great deal of food. Marilla wanted to give Mr and Mrs Allan the best tea of any family in the village.
Wednesday morning came. Anne got up very early because she was too excited to sleep. After breakfast, she made her cake. The cake came out of the oven(烤箱) looking perfect.
The young couple(夫妇) arrived, and they all enjoyed a lovely tea. Everything went well until Anne's cake was passed around.
“Oh, you must take a piece of this, Mrs Allan,” said Marilla. “Anne made it just for you.”
“In that case I must try it,” laughed Mrs Allan. She took a mouthful and a strange look came onto her face.
Marilla tried hers and said, “Anne, what is in this cake?”
“Oh, isn’t it all right?” cried Anne.
“It’s terrible. What flavouring(调味品) did you use?”
“Vanilla(香草),” said Anne.
“Go and bring me the bottle of the vanilla you used.”
Anne returned with a small bottle labeled “Vanilla”. Marilla took it and smelled it.
“Anne, you’ve flavoured that cake with medicine(药)! I broke a bottle of medicine last week and poured the rest of it in this old vanilla bottle. Couldn’t you smell it?”
Anne burst into tears(眼泪) and ran to her room. Lying on her bed, she heard somebody come in.
“Oh, Marilla,” cried Anne, without looking up. “It’s terrible. Mrs Allan will think I tried to poison(毒害) her.”
“My dear little girl, don’t cry,” said a happy voice.
Anne jumped up to find Mrs Allan standing by her bed.
“It’s just a funny mistake that anybody might make.”
“But I wanted to make a nice cake for you.”
“Thank you, dear. But now, will you show me your flower garden? I love flowers.”
Anne showed Mrs Allan her flower garden and soon felt much better. No more was said about the cake.
When Mr and Mrs Allan left, Anne turned to Marilla. “
Marilla, isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
