The month of August brought many surprises and changes. The first surprise was a kitten that Pollyanna found mewing pitifully on the street. She brought it home to her aunt and said, "Aunt Polly, I'm glad no one claimed the kitten, as I always wanted to bring it home. I told everyone how kind a master you shall be!" Miss Polly did not like cats. But she couldn't stop Pollyanna from adopting her new pet, who was promptly named Fluffy.
The next day it was a dog, even dirtier and more forlorn, perhaps, than the kitten and was christened Buffy. Miss Polly again found herself to be on the pedestal of kindness and mercy by Pollyanna.
When, however, Pollyanna brought home a small, ragged boy, and confidently claimed the same protection for
him, Miss Polly could not stal silent anymore!
