　　1. Molly has a lot of nicknames. Dad calls her "My Little Lady". Mum calls her "Sweet Girl". Her brother, Ben, calls her "Sis".

　　2. One day, Mum says, "Molly, your hair is too long. You need a haircut." After Mum cuts it, Molly says, "It's too short! Now I look like a boy!" Molly is very upset.

　　3. Molly doesn't want anyone to see her. So she hides herself in a corner.
