The "Little House" Books is a series of American children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, based on her childhood and adolescence in the American Midwest (Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Missouri) between 1870 and … more »



[Laura finds out that Nellie has been pretending to be paralyzed. Instead of confronting Nellie for her lies and for forcing Laura to serve her, Laura finds a better way to pay her back. She takes Nellie in her wheelchair to the top of the hill overlooking the town. Laura waits till she sees Mrs. Oleson passing by, driving a cart]

Laura:
[calls loudly, waving her hands] Mrs. Oleson! Mrs. Oleson, I'm here!

[Mrs. Oleson stops the cart, looks upward and sees Laura and Nellie on the hill top]

Mrs. Oleson:
[angrily] And... wa... Laura Ingalls! What have you done with the filthy animal?

[Laura hurries to Nellie]

Laura:
Nellie, your mother wants you!

[Laura gives Nellie a firm shove. Nellie screams in fear as the wheelchair rolls down the hill slope, accelerating rapidly. Mrs. Oleson gapes]

Mrs. Oleson:
[in horror] Nellie!

Laura:
[smiles gloatingly] You're such a good friend, Nellie!

[Nellie's wheelchair rolls down the hill, until it reaches the ground level. It stops abruptly, sending Nellie headfirst into a muddy small pond]

Mrs. Oleson:
Nellie!

[Nellie stands up whimpering, forgetting that she is "paralyzed", completely soaked. Mrs. Oleson is so overjoyed to see her daughter's sudden "recovery", that she forgets to be angry at Laura]

Mrs. Oleson:
[emotionally] Nellie... my baby... it's a miracle!

[Mrs. Olseon faints of joy, falling backward from her cart. Later, Laura goes to see Mr. Oleson. He is not upset at Laura, but quite content that his mean daughter got what she deserved for her lies]
