AKAGE NO ANNE
Hizume no oto
A carriage goes through the gentle hills
Yuruyakana oka wo nutte
Kaketekuru basha
Someone comes to pick me up
Mukae ni kuru no mukae ni kuru no ne
And takes me
Dare ka ga
Watashi wo tsureteyuku no ne
Shiroi hana no michi he
To the avenue with white flowers
To the home of wind
Kaze no furusato he
He takes me
Tsureteyuku no ne
I'm sure
Tsureteyuku no ne
The Results
After the entrance exams are over, two weeks flew by.
To get the results list, the examinees
haunted the post office everyday for the Charlotte Daily.
I feel uneasy. We will see the results list today.
I think so. It's late for two days.
Ruby, if your name is not on the list, what do you intend to do?
Josie, don't be sarcastic! You know I'm most worried on this.
It'll be fine, Ruby. I feel that all of us can make it.
I feel much better hearing this from you.
But what if I don't make it?
Anne and the others are here.
Are the papers here yet?
Not yet.
Can I leave for a while?
Go ahead.
How is it? Any news today?
Don't seems like any.
I'm only responsible to move things up the cart.
Then hurry up. I have a feeling the results will be out today.
How can I hurry on this type of slope?
Charlie, let's help to push.
Okay.
You'll scare the horse. Be careful.
They're here! They're here!
Really.
Stop... stop...
We've taken out Avonlea's mails.
Great. Sorry to trouble you.
A whole bunch waiting today again! It must be hard on them.
Yes.
Please let us see the papers. Quickly.
All right, let me get one out for you.
It's not published today as well.
This is too much! How long do we have to wait?
Why must we tolerate this excruciating torture?
We have no choice. Let's come back tomorrow.
We should have learnt to take it easy like Moody.
What's with Moody?
He seems halfway through to giving up.
Moody, no results list today too.
Great! Thanks for telling me.
I hope that the results will never be published.
I envy you your calmness in going to the post office for the paper everyday.
I don't have that kind of courage.
No one's calm! Just worried so we went to look.
You may be right
but no matter whether I make it or not,
I've decided to stay at home and wait for news.
This settles it.
3 weeks passed and everyone's still waiting for the results list.
Anne is tensed to the extreme by the wait.
Anne Shirley
What's wrong with you?
Don't tell me...
The results list is not out today.
What's this? In the past, the list would have been out by now.
That's right. Everyone's puzzled too.
Anyway, come in first.
I can understand how all of you must be feeling.
But no matter how you worry, you can't change the results.
I know, but...
Worrying about this everyday and spending your days in anxiety
won't make the list come any sooner.
Don't you think it's a big waste of good holidays?
But...
I guess it's hard to ask you to forget about the results list
but even if you have to force yourself
try to busy yourself with something to make your days richer.
Brace yourself up. Throw yourself into spending every day you have.
Every day I have?
Yes. Then you'll feel the day the results list is out will come faster.
From tomorrow on, don't go to the post office anymore.
Look.
No results list today either.
We'll never know when the results list will come.
The head of Education is a Tory?
They have no sympathy for those poor children.
You're right.
Next election, maybe I'll vote for Grit?
Are you finished?
Yes.
What's wrong?
I've no appetite.
You seems to be eating less nowadays.
I understand how you feel
but won't ruining your health only ensure that you can't go to Queen's?
I know but I really can't eat.
You wandered around listlessly all day. Of course you don't feel hungry.
You did nothing but go to the post office these days, right?
Brace yourself up. At least helping me with some housework is better...
I know I should pull my socks up.
Yesterday Mrs Allan gave me some advice too.
She wanted me to busy myself with something.
But...
But you just can't feel at ease, right?
I'm sorry.
Do you want to go to the fields?
Go and help Matthew dry the hay, though I'm not sure you can be of help.
But I think at least it will make you hungry.
That's great, Marilla.
I've always wanted to try it once
but you always said it's not like a girl to help with boys tasks.
This is an exception.
I'm really tired of looking at your lifeless look.
Finish up your food and go. Matthew will be pleased.
Thank you, Marilla.
Anne
Anne, eat your meal now.
Thank you.
Please go ahead.
Anne's finally feeling more at peace.
Maybe it's because of a day's work,
she was so hungry, tired and sleepy she did not think of the results list.
This night, Anne fell asleep without changing into her pajamas.
Her face showed peace which came from the release of her worry.
Matthew, have you ever thought that it'll be better if I am a boy?
That way, I can help you with more work.
Yes. But Anne,
I never thought of wanting a boy after you came.
Is it true, Matthew?
Of course. Why are you asking this?
I never thought of asking you to help me in the fields too.
I thought so too but I was real happy yesterday.
It's tiring but after dinner I can fall asleep without a thought.
Really? It's all right if you come and play occasionally.
But this is so sudden. Are you pushing yourself too hard? Want a rest today?
I'm fine, because I...
You can help me tomorrow. Better that you don't take on too much now.
All right. You must let me help you tomorrow.
Oh I see... Matthew's right too.
You never know your limits when you do things.
If you take on too much now, it will be worse if you fall sick.
Marilla, you suggested I help.
I know...
You have done enough picking now.
I'm sending these to Mrs Lynde.
You stay home and look after things.
I can help you send these to Mrs Lynde.
It's all right. I need to talk to her.
Sure?
You can prepare the afternoon tea by yourself.
Anne, Anne.
Diana.
Anne, I'm coming up.
Anne, you made it! You're first.
You and Blythe are first but your name was in front.
I'm so happy for you.
You're great, Anne.
My father brought the news from outside less than 10 minutes ago.
This paper will be issued this noon. It'll reach the post office tomorrow.
I was stunned when I read the results list.
Everyone made it, even Moody.
Although the history paper is tough, Jane and Ruby did very well.
Their results are in the middle.
So is Charlie's.
Josie managed to scrape through with 3 marks to spare.
But both the top students are from our school.
Miss Stacy will be so happy.
Anne, how does it feel to be first?
I almost went crazy with joy.
It took me a while to recover myself.
But you looked as calm as you've seen a sunset in spring.
Diana, I don't feel calm.
I wanted to say so much but I could not get a word out.
I never dreamt of this...
No, I did think of it once, only once.
What will I do if I am first? Just thinking of it makes me shiver.
Really.
Being first in the whole island.
Just the thought of it makes me feel I am arrogant.
Wait, Diana.
I must let Matthew know this right now.
I can tell the rest the good news on my way back.
I'm coming with you. Your glory is my glory.
Thank you, Diana.
Matthew, Matthew.
I made it! I made it!
Looks like the results are out.
I made it and I'm first!
Look.
It's not a dream. I'm so happy.
You're really first?
I've always said you will have no problem.
I just knew you can beat the rest easily.
Matthew.
Anne, you did extremely well.
This is great. I take my hat off you from my heart.
Anne, you're our glory.
I feel so honoured.
Thank you, Mrs Lynde.
The others have made it too. Let's go and tell them.
We're making a move first. Goodbye.
I'm going too. Everyone should hear of this big news.
Anne really worked hard for it.
Yes.
After the results were out, the class gathered at the pastor's home.
Mr. And Mrs Allan prepared a feast for them.
You all looked so mature today, like gentlemen and ladies.
We almost thought we would not laugh again in this life.
Yes. This is a celebration for everyone. Please enjoy.
Let's have a toast to wish everyone a bright future,
of course, with the tea cups.
This is really great.
Cheers.
Cheers...
It's so hot.
Miss Stacy sent a telegram to congratulate us.
She is a conscientious teacher.
Yes. Thanks to Miss Stacy, all of us made it.
Right.
Then I start my reading.
Dear students at Queens,
when I knew that everyone made it, I sent you my most sincere wishes.
I hope that in future, all of you will bring glory to Avonlea.
I will always be with you. Maurice Stacy.
Just like what Miss Stacy said,
don't you all forget this feeling of gratitude.
In future, you must work hard and do us proud.
Of course, don't forget to thank your parents and the Lord.
Miss Stacy, we're so grateful to you.
That night, Anne knelt before the open window in the beautiful moonlight
and said her most sincere prayer of gratitude and aspiration.
She thanked for all things in the past and was full of hope for the future.
Before every well-dressed person,
Anne prepared to recite for everyone with a nervous heart.
