Meg March is the perfect young lady.  Her gracious manners and sweet personality make her very popular at school.  And when she is invited to Mary Howe's fancy picnic, she wants to go badly.  Nothing her tomboy sister, Jo, says against snobby Mary Howe changes Meg's mind.  Meg claims Jo is just jealous that she wasn't invited too.  But on the big day, the March parents are visiting friends, and the housekeeper is called away on an emergency.  Meg knows she should stay home to watch over her younger sisters--even if it means not going to the picnic.  Still...she doesn't want to miss the fun.  And forgetting her manners, Meg does something that turns the picnic into an unforgettable afternoon.
