The story of a young country girl who has taken a first teaching job in the big city.

She has been there many years; the others are simple country girls.

"What can a little country girl know of such matters?"

"You would not believe a simple country girl could have such dreams."

Laura is seven year old country girl, who's just moved along with her family to a big city.

Five marks was a lot of money to a country girl.

To our surprise, she turns out to be not much of a country girl at all.

Then had gone away to teach, as most country girls are forced to do.

Like any proper country girl, though, she has learned to deal with it.

I'm not a simple country girl, let me remind you.
