Red-haired Anne

Just a little more...

I made it.

Wow.

I feel like... I feel like I'm part of the inflorescence.

And I'm the stamen.

Good morning, little squirrel.

Although I haven't been on a merry-go-round,

sitting here gives me a wonderful feeling as though I'm on a merry-go-round.

Don't you think so?

That's right! Let me give you a nice name.

Little Petal, can we be friends?

Ouch.

It's torn again.

Oh no, I have to fetch the water!

Aunt Joanna will be angry again.

She will definitely reprimand me.

Heave-ho, heave-ho.

May even take my lunch away.

Wild Rose, I'll give you water later.

Horace, stop jumping around!

Edward, don't put weird things into your mouth!

You boys are so naughty!

When will you boys stop making the racket?!

Anne, what have you been doing?!

How long do you need to fetch water?!

The cherry blossoms were very beautiful.

Aunt should take a look as well.

I'm sure you'll like to see such beautiful cherry blossoms.

Seriously, you're always skiving for no good reason!

You better clean up this place!

I was the one who adopted you, the abandoned orphan!

If I hadn't done so,

you would have definitely been sent to the orphanage!

If you want to be fed here, you'll have to work!

Otherwise, I'll chase you away!

Horace, stop fooling around!

Anne, clean that part!

Yes.

Help out too, Horace.

Aren't you the one who caused this mess?

You'll do it, since you're not a child of this family!

Ouch.

You're such an irritating girl!

It's too noisy, get them to keep quiet!

For how long are you going to let the child cry?!

What are you drinking so early in the morning?!

Haven't I told you to fix the rope of the well?!

Now we have to go to the river to fetch water!

I'm looking for work now.

Fix it yourself.

What kind of work can a guy reeking of alcohol find?!

If you don't find a job properly,

we won't even have money to buy food!

The child in my belly is about to come out too!

If I have the will,

I can earn money any time.

No need for you to nag around.

Anne!

There's no need for you here, go do the laundry!

There are no more nappies to change.

So, hurry up!

Yes.

Anne Shirley,

used to live in Nova Scotia, a province of Canada.

After her parents died,

she was adopted by the poor Thomas family.

I'm so hungry.

Horace, Edward!

Dimwit Anne,

do you want this apple?

Red-haired Anne!

Red-haired Anne!

Totally red.

Anne's hair is totally red!

Stop it.

Totally red.

I said, stop it!

Red is the hair colour of daemons.

Scarecrow head!

Scarecrow head!

I hate you!

I won't forgive this!

What ugly red hair I have.

I'm back, Anne.

Eliza, welcome back.

You're late, Eliza!

There was more work to do so I came back late.

Your brothers' shirts are torn.

Go mend them.

Don't worry, I'll mend Anne's too.

Eliza's hair is so pretty.

It's gold, just like a goddess.

Go to bed.

You've worked hard today, haven't you?

I've fetched for water, cleaned up,

and even washed and dried all the nappies.

My family is poor;

must be hard on little Anne.

If only father had been serious about working.

"That idiot husband of mine was found drinking during work and fired.

Why did I marry such a person in the first place?"

Sounds exactly like mother.

But you know, it's fine with me to be penniless.

As long as there are birds and flowers,

I will be happy even without money.

You're such an amazing child, Anne.

Living in this house is suffocating me.

Shut him up!

Can't you pacify him?

Quieting down the children is your job anyway!

I wish to get married soon.

Get married to a rich person,

and leave this place.

This world sure is puzzling.

Here I wished to see my mother and father,

yet Eliza, who has both her mother and father, wants to leave home.

That's right.

The world is full of unpleasant events.

Hey Eliza, tell me about my mother and father!

Haven't I told you many times already?

I want to listen again! Please!

I understand.

Anne's father was Walter Shirley,

and your mother was Bertha Shirley.

Bertha was very weak.

She helped out my mother with the laundry and cleaning.

They raised a cat, didn't they?

Yes, the Shirley couple were gentle and kind people.

However, they passed away due to illness.

So my mother adopted little Anne when she was a baby.

Hey Eliza, my mother and father were both extremely nice people, weren't they?

That's why God took them away so soon.

That may be so.

Why did God leave me behind?

It's because I have red hair!

That's not true.

Anne is very lovely.

I hate my red hair!

It makes me look like a scarecrow.

Then again, if it's a cat...

A cat?

That's right! A cat!

If I raise a cat just like my mother and father,

they will tolerate my red hair.

When Eliza is out to work,

I can play with the cat.

Please let me raise a cat.

I'm begging you, God!

Either way, God doesn't answer prayers from a red-haired child.

Why?

Why are you laughing?

What's so funny?

Eliza.

Eliza, answer me!

Anne Shirley!

Yes!

Anne Shirley!

Yes!

Hey, Bert.

I haven't seen you working for a while.

Yeah, the old lady Minton asked me to help out with the firewood.

Minton?!

The stingy old lady?

Nobody in this town wants to be ordered around by her.

It doesn't matter who it is,

as long as there's money.

Come in.

I'm done with the firewood.

Thanks for the hard work.

The money-

There's nothing else.

Return home!

Mrs. Minton, please don't put it that way.

Is there anything else you need me to do?

Anything is fine.

Unfortunately, there's none.

Now, be on your way.

This box contains a relief sculpture, doesn't it?

Yes, a luxuriously made relief sculpture.

A high quality product you can never possess in your life.

If I remember correctly, the metal pin broke.

What about that?

Let me fix it for you.

Do you know how?

What? This is not a problem.

I used to make handicrafts in the past as well.

I'll send it over once it's fixed.

I thought you finally managed to get a job;

who knew it was just chopping firewood for Mrs. Minton.

Who's Mrs. Minton?

This town's number one stubborn old lady.

I've heard she hasn't smiled for 100 years.

100 years?!

So, how much did you earn?

Don't know.

Don't tell me you've spent the money you earned on alcohol?

What's wrong with spending the money I earn?

What did you say?

How could you-

Stop whining!

I've found my next job.

What's that beautiful expensive looking item?

I've never seen it before.

It's a brooch made from relief sculpturing.

Relief sculpturing?

Just one of these is worth enough to build a castle.

Build a castle?

Anne, don't touch it!

If I am able to fix a broken relief sculpture,

I will get lots of money.

Fix it?

How are you going to?

You've never meddled with something this valuable before.

I'm sure you'll think of something!

Don't be ridiculous!

Aren't you good at everything?

Especially leaving all the dirty work for me as you seem to be the best at that.

You shameless person!

You're full of lies!

What did you say?!

What are you doing?!

Shut up!

The relief sculpture...

The castle...

It's Anne's fault!

It's Anne's fault!

It's not Anne's fault.

It's our fault.

We're doomed.

The castle...

Mother, what's going to happen to us?

Let's all work to pay it off.

Otherwise if we can't pay,

Bert might be sent to the police station.

Police station?

Listen up Anne,

you are the one who broke it.

You must apologise to Mrs. Minton.

No matter how stubborn an old lady can be,

after seeing little children cry,

she shouldn't be that angry.

But, I wasn't the one who broke it.

Lying and crying, I can't do either.

You are the one who broke it!

Cry and apologise!

Otherwise, the whole family can't escape.

Without tools, the carriage can't move.

Wait here.

Please, Mrs. Minton.

Please, Mrs. Minton.

I broke this relief sculpture.

I'm sorry.

This can't work.

It doesn't look real.

What are you doing?

I'm practising.

Uncle Bert asked me to cry.

He said no matter how stubborn Mrs. Minton is,

she'll forgive at the sight of crying children.

However, if I lie, I will feel disgusted as though a worm has fallen into my dress.

Old lady, what do you think?

If it was me,

I wouldn't forgive it, little children or not.

It's because this is a rare relief sculpture given to Mrs. Minton by her lover.

Why do you think so?

I've been thinking,

the reason why Mrs. Minton hasn't smiled in 100 years.

Do you know the reason?

No.

That is because Mrs. Minton's lover,

when Mrs. Minton was as beautiful as a flower,

participated in the war and had passed away.

And so, for 100 years,

since then, Mrs. Minton has not smiled.

For such a meaningful item,

if it's broken by some ugly red-haired child,

I would definitely not forgive her.

Red-haired child.

Would that be you?

That's me.

Whenever I am doing the laundry,

the Thomas children will often call me that.

As compared to being called an orphan,

I feel worse being called "red-haired child."

However, if I have a cat...

My dream is to raise a cat;

my mother and father used to have one too.

The cat's fur would also be red so they wouldn't tease me.

Old lady, don't you think so?

Come to think of it,

who are you?

Me?

I'm a friend of Mrs. Minton.

Mrs. Minton's?

Yes, that's why I know her well.

That relief sculpture is nothing important.

Neither is it a gift from her lover.

It's a gift from Mrs. Minton's cousin.

Mrs. Minton dislikes her cousin.

The same reason she dislikes this relief sculpture.

Which is why, even if you broke this relief sculpture,

Mrs. Minton will not be angry.

Instead, she'll feel better.

I'm somehow surprised;

surprised by what you've just said.

I'll help you bring this relief sculpture to Mrs. Minton.

Now then, I have something to tell Bert, you go on ahead.

Thank you very much, old lady!

Can you go home alone?

Yes, I'll be fine.

Eliza says that this world is full of unpleasant events.

However, unpleasant events are also a wonderful thing.

Because there will always be something surprising.

Please send my regards to Mrs. Minton.

What an amazing child.

Follow me!

I have something for you.

Bert!

A present from old lady Minton.

A present?

Compensation for the relief sculpture.

We have to keep this home.

A cat!

It's a cat!

A cat?! A cat?!

What's going on?

I have no idea.

God will occasionally show kindness on red-haired kids after all!

After that, what will be awaiting for her, day after day?

And so, in her heart, our little Anne is just like the sunlight during Spring.
