Jerusha Abbott was walking to Mrs Lippett's office when she saw the back of a man. He casted a shadow on the hall. He had very long legs and arms and his shadow looked just like a daddy-long-legs spider. She turned pale and could hear her heart beating very fast, so she walked more quickly.       As Jerusha entered the office, Mrs Lippett immediately spoke, “Jerusha! "Did you see the gentleman who has just left?" "I only saw his back. " Jerusha replied. Mrs Lippett continued, "The gentleman only chose boys and offered them to college. But this time you were chosen." "To college! Me!" Jerusha was shocked. "In return, you must write a letter every month telling him of your progress. "

In the letters, Jerusha described everything that happened in her college to Daddy-long-legs. She met new people, made friends and even gave herself a new name, Judy.

Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

We had a sports day last Saturday. It started out with a very cheerful parade. I couldn't wait to take part in the events. I have kept training hard for several weeks. I know it is very important on the way to my further dream. I must keep myself strong and active before it. And guess what? I won the fifty-yard sprint*. It was all very exciting and I felt so good at the end of the day.

I love you always, Judy

Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

I have been very busy these days studying for my examinations. Once the examinations are finished, our vacation will be here. I am going to the seaside to tutor* a girl and her younger sister. I will teach them English and Latin. Each month, I will get fifty dollars! Please don't object to my plan. I am becoming very independent thanks to you. I hope that you have a wonderful summer, Daddy.

Yours always, Judy

Four days later

Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

I was about to post this letter to you when I met Master Jervie. He has invited me to Europe as well. He said it was an important part of my education. I almost said yes. But one thing stopped me. He was almost trying to force me to go. I refuse to be forced to do anything, because I want to make my own decisions. To reply you for your kindness, I will become a wise and independent woman.

Yours ever,

Judy
