and soft down to your shoulders.

He said it was beautiful.

Ah, yes, well... clean yourself up

for supper, dear.

Yes, Aunt Polly.

Here is the last

of the calf s-foot Jelly.

Oh, but, Aunt Polly,

please-

There'll be no nonsense

about it, Pollyanna.

This is a duty and a Job

that must be done.

And Nancy will show you where

the deliveries are

supposed to be made.

- What kind of deliveries?

- Charity baskets, child.

- Oh, the suffering in this world.

- Dwell on it.

Appreciate how lucky you are.

Now these two go first,

Nancy, and handle them with care.

Now, where is the one

for Mrs. Snow?

Oh, we took great pains to wrap that

attractively, knowing how she is.

- Yes, ma'am.

- And there'll be no dawdling.

And keep your clothes clean for

a change. Come on, off with you.

Come on, honey.

We've got three more to go.

Oh, just a minute, Nancy.

What's in the darn thing?

Um, I think that one's

calf s-foot Jelly.

Oh, you dont have to look at it

as though it was charity.

Just a gift from one friend

to another.

- Friend?

- Yes, I'm your friend.

Well, uh, I better

be going now. Good-bye.

People sure hate

to get charity.

- Isn't it the truth?

- And I dont blame them.

Do-gooders. Hah!

- Good-bye, Miss Ferd.

- Good-bye.

- Now, how does that go again?

- Um...

Barly one morning

Just as the sun was rising

Barly one morning

Just as the sun was rising

I heard a maiden singing

I n the valley below

One up.

Barly one morning

Just as the sun was rising

I heard a maiden singing

That takes care of

Mrs. Gaupherson, Miss Neely,

the Doppsils and the Ferds.

- Whos left?

- Just this one. Mrs. Snow.

And I wish this one

were over with.

What's wrong with her?

She's just plain crabby,

that's what's wrong with her.

You never met anyone

so cantankerous.

If it was Friday,

she'd wish it was Tuesday.

What did we bring

her today?

Uh, calf s-foot Jelly.

You wait and see.

She's bound to wish she had chicken.

And if we brought her chicken,

she'd want lamb broth.

She's just cantankerous!

Millie?

Nancy, come on in.

- How are you?

- Hello there.

- Hello.

- Uh, this is Pollyanna Whittier.

Oh, sure. I heard you were coming

to stay with your aunt.

And this is Mrs.

Snows daughter Mildred.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Where were you last night?

We waited and waited.

At the hayride, I know.

My mother said I could go,

and at the last minute,

she changed her mind.

She had come kind of,

I dont know, upset stomach.

Stop that noise in there! Haven't you

any respect for a dying woman?

Oh, honestly.

She was so crotchety today.

I'm just worn to a frazzle.

This morning I fixed her

a cup of coffee as usual.

You know, I brought it in.

She didn't want coffee this morning.

- This morning she wanted tea.

- I dont know how you stand it.

I dont know, either.

Had to make her a new cup of tea.

Remember the day I

brought the currant jelly?

Yes!

I had currant jelly

from here to there.

She threw it at you!

- Hello.

- Who are you?

And what're you doing

in my bedroom?

- Uh, uh, I'm Pollyanna Whittier.

- Who?

- Miss Harringtons niece.

- Oh.

The Ladies' Aid has

sent me with this.

- Yeah? What is it?

- Calf s-foot Jelly.

Calf s-foot Jelly.

Oh, and I had my heart set

on lamb's broth today.

You mean chicken,

dont you?

What's that?

Well, they told me you always wanted

chicken when you were brought Jelly.

Youre a Miss I impertinence,

aren't you?

Come here.

Come right over here.

You have a stubby

little nose.

What do you

think about that?

I know it.

I wish I were pretty like you.

Oh, dont you try

to butter me up.

I'm not at all pretty.

Oh, but you are.

And you dont look sick at all.

Well, that shows you what

a stupid little girl you are.

Go on. Get out

of my way.

Why, I'm right on

death's doorstep.

Just hanging on

by sheer willpower.

If you had to lay here day after day

and day after day,

and youd call anybody, and your

daughter- Put that down! Stop it.

And she wouldn't come.

She's gallivanting somewhere.

And the doctor,

all he gives you is pills.

Just pills and bills, that's all.

- What are you staring at?

- Your prisms.

- My what?

- Your prisms.

Did you know they paint rainbows

on your wall?

Oh?

See? On that wall

over there.

Howd you do that?

I said, I'm too old and smart

for that old saw, Fred Pallegrew.

Well, I should say so.

You turn that horse

around and head out

from underneath this

covered bridge right now!

I'll bet that

cocled his heels.

You shouldve seen

his face.

- More coffee?

- Oh, please.

It's awful quiet

in there.

I wonder what's

going on.

More to your left.

To your left, you silly girl.

What's the matter with ya?

Now, there, there.

- That's not bad at all.

- Not bad?

It's gorgeous.

I think it was a fine idea.

Dont be taking credit.

I suggested stringing them up there.

Why, Mrs. Snow,

that's a fib!

It was my idea.

It was my idea

to use the string.

You didn't know how to do it

'til I suggested the string.

Youre impertinent.

I dont like you at all.

I'm sorry.

When are you

coming back again?

Tomorrow, I guess.

I'll see you then.

Well, if I'm not

in my grave.

Bye.

Bye.

All right, Nancy.

- Good-bye, Millie.

- Good-bye, Nancy.

- Good-bye, Pollyanna.

- Bye.

Don't stand there.

Go on and fix a cold pack

for my headache. Go on.

- Go on!

- Yes, Mother.

Let's get some

gumption around here.

Let's start acting

like a community.

Hey, Doc,

you just sit there

chewing on that straw.

Put in your two bits worth.

What do you think?

I came here to fish, Charlie. I dont

want to butt in to your affairs here.

Ben Tarbell!

Where you sneaking off to?

You folks are biting off

a pretty big chew with all this talk.

Come on, Ben.

Get it said.

A lot of us have got vested interest

in the Harrington companies.

Our wives belong

to her Ladies' Aid group.

My woman would skin me alive

if I was to go opposite

to Polly Harrington,

and that's the truth!

I'm sorry.

All right, let's get our

hands out of our hip pockets

and find a way to raise some money.

Are you with me?

Barly one morning

Just as the sun was rising

I heard a maiden singing

in the valley below

What's happening?

That's first thing

in the morning.

Charlie Gorman, that means eight men

assigned to you for carpentry.

- Dan Seymcor'll supply the

1- by-12s. Right, Dan? - Right.

Mary, youve got to

get that cocking done.

Of course, youve got

that other thing to run.

Yes, Karl, I'll take care

of the chicken.

- Hi, Pollyanna.

- Hi. I'll be back in a minute, Nancy.

- Hi, honey.

- Hi. What's going on?

Lady, you are looking at the elected

head of the entertainment committee.

Old Uncle George.

- Entertainment committee for what?

- Well-

If we get the corn, you can

take that whole thing out of there.

You can count on me

to haul in that lumber!

Use the big truck.

We're gonna have the best
