“Now, which one shall I wear today?” she pondered, pulling out one gown after

                   another. “The pink velvet?  No… The yellow silk?  No… The green satin?   No, no,
                   no. Ah!  This one!”

                        Fifi pulled on a gold lace dressing-gown, and dropped all the others in a messy
                   heap.

                        She washed her face and threw the towel under the bed. Then she stood at the

                   window to brush her hair.
                        “Lovely day for roller skating!” she said. She dropped the hair-brush out of the

                   window and took her roller boots down from the shelf. “But first, I need breakfast!”
                   Tossing the roller boots on to the rug, she skipped happily through the door.

                        Bella ran around the room. She tidied up the bell, the glass, and all the dressing-

                   gowns.
                         As she bent to pick up the towel, she tripped over a roller boot. THUD went

                   Bella as she sat down on the floor.
                        “I hate this room!” she growled.
