欢迎来到故事在线

由SAG-AFTRA基金会呈现。

我是基尔南·希普卡，今天我要给大家读

坦雅·李·斯通创作，凯瑟琳·布朗插画的《简建造的房子》。

我非常高兴能给大家读这本书。

一栋房子矗立在繁忙的街道上

它的门敞开着，向所有来者致以友好的问候，

对一些人说，留下来吧。

1889年，一位富有的年轻女子名叫简·亚当斯

搬进了一栋位于伊利诺伊州芝加哥的漂亮而优雅的房子。

但她没有搬进一个漂亮而优雅的社区，

而是选择了一栋位于城镇最肮脏、最贫穷地区的房子。

一位富有的年轻女子为什么要这样做，明明她可以住在任何地方？

简六岁的时候，和父亲一起旅行

她注意到并不是每个人都像她的家人一样生活。

她发誓总有一天要住在

“可怕的小房子中间”，并找到一种改善世界的方法。

简从一开始就是一个坚强的人。

而且她很勇敢。

当她和她的继兄乔治还小的时候，

他们晚上会偷偷溜出去，去附近的洞穴探险。

有一次，简用绳子把乔治降到悬崖边

去窥视猫头鹰在巢里的情况。

简很聪明。

她读啊读，从父亲的书籍中阅读，

这些书籍也相当于镇上的图书馆。

当时大多数女孩没有机会上大学，

但简的父亲相信女性应该接受教育。

她进入了洛克福德女子学院

并以优异的成绩毕业。

但是当她完成学业后，她不确定该如何度过自己的人生。

就在那个夏天，她的父亲去世了。

简感到迷茫。

大约两年后，她和朋友们去欧洲旅行。

他们去剧院、歌剧院和许多美丽的地方。

但后来，简在伦敦看到了一些她永远无法忘记的事情：

衣衫褴褛的人们伸出双手，

乞求一位小贩购买他剩余的腐烂水果和蔬菜，

这些水果和蔬菜在市场上没有卖出去。

变质的食物是他们唯一能负担得起的食物。

她能做些什么来帮助他们呢？

在旅行结束很久之后，这个问题一直萦绕在她脑海中。

她回忆起自己六岁时的感受。

简回到伦敦，去了解

一个她听说正在以一种全新的方式帮助穷人的地方。

在托尼比大厅，理念是让富人和穷人生活在一起

在同一个社区里，互相学习。

例如，他们不仅仅是提供汤，人们还可以参加烹饪课程。

其他技能也被教授。

托尼比大厅是第一座社区中心。

它被称为社区中心，因为

在那里工作的富裕人士白天

不会回到自己的家中。

相反，他们“安顿”下来，住在托尼比大厅，

就在那些需要帮助的人所在的社区里。

简现在知道该怎么做了。

她告诉她的朋友艾伦·盖茨·斯塔尔

她计划在芝加哥建立一个社区中心。

这就像一匹赛马挣脱了缰绳，

终于可以倾注所有的精力去奔跑了。

芝加哥有一面光鲜亮丽的一面，

有豪宅、高档商店和波光粼粼的湖岸。

但也有着粗糙的一面。

1889年，有100万人居住在芝加哥。

大多数是移民——来自其他国家的人们。

他们是为了更好的生活而来，但他们不会说英语。

这使得他们很难找到好工作。许多人需要帮助。

简找到了完美的房子。

它有带高天花板和 - 大理石壁炉的大房间。

而且它位于城市里最糟糕的社区之一。

垃圾在街上腐烂，堆积如山。

大家庭挤在狭小、破旧的房子里，没有自来水。

从后院的茅厕里散发出的气味弥漫在空气中。

一群粗鲁的男孩在街上游荡，制造麻烦，因为他们无事可做。

这栋房子曾经属于查尔斯·J·赫尔，

他把它留给了他的富裕表亲海伦·卡尔弗。

起初，简支付租金，但当她告诉海伦她的想法后，

海伦免费把房子送给了她。

为了表示感谢，简把房子命名为赫尔之家。

简于1889年9月18日搬入。

第一夜，她太忙太兴奋了

以至于在睡觉前忘记锁上侧门。

但没有人闯入。

她决定从那时起就将赫尔之家解锁，

以便人们知道他们可以随时进来。

那些吃不饱饭、没有鞋子或刚丢了工作的人开始找到赫尔之家。

or had just lost a job began to find their way to Hull House.

当然，这里并不总是平静的。

有一次，几个男孩向房子扔石头，打碎了一扇窗户。

简没有生气，而是把它看作是一个信号，

要给社区的孩子们找点事情做。

她有自己看待事物的方式。

还有一次，简发现一个人在房子里寻找东西要偷。

他试图从窗户跳出去逃跑，

但她指引他走出大门，以免他受伤。

当他第二次闯入时，她问他为什么。

他说他失业了，没有钱。

简告诉他第二天早上回来。

当他回来时，她给了他一份工作。

简用自己的钱来运营赫尔之家，

并要求其他富裕的人也捐款。

她不想因为在那里工作而获得报酬。

即使人们送给她礼物，她也会把它们送出去。

她的朋友们嘲笑简。

一个朋友送给她一条绣有她名字缩写的内衣，只是为了让简无法转送它。

但她还是做了！

简发现的任何问题，她都会迎刃而解。

房屋里没有自来水意味着没有方便的洗澡方式。

这导致了疾病。所以简安装了一个公共浴室。

人们蜂拥而至，这帮助她说服了市政府

他们需要建造更多的公共浴室。

没有孩子安全玩耍的地方？

简说服了一位富有的绅士把他在赫尔之家附近拥有的土地送给她。

工人们拆除了破旧的建筑物

并将这块地变成了一个游乐场。 - 这是芝加哥的第一座游乐场！

因为父母每天工作十四个小时，所以独自在家的小孩子们？

简创办了一个早晨的幼儿园和课后的俱乐部。

她还为那些在白天上学期间不得不去工作的年长孩子开设了下午课程。

who had to go to work during the school day.

简不是独自完成所有这些的。

艾伦·盖茨·斯塔尔从一开始就是她的伙伴。

许多其他聪明、慷慨的人搬到赫尔之家并提供帮助。

他们教授文学、艺术、英语、数学、科学和烹饪。

很快，不仅仅是一栋建筑，而是两栋。

然后是三栋、四栋，还有更多。

到1907年，赫尔之家已经发展到十三栋建筑，

包括一个体育馆、咖啡馆、剧院、音乐学校、社区厨房和一个艺术画廊。

到20世纪20年代初，每周有超过九千人参观赫尔之家。

简建造的房子将各种各样的人们聚集在一起，并帮助那些有需要的人。

它将一个糟糕的社区变成了一个伟大而强大的社区。

赫尔之家改变了所有走进这里的人的生活。

今天，美国的每一个社区中心，

很大程度上都要感谢简·亚当斯。

有了她所做的一切，无论是在房子里还是房子外面 - 简建造的房子，

她童年的愿望，帮助改善世界，都实现了。

这个故事最棒的部分，我非常喜欢

是它是真的。

阅读之所以如此神奇，有很多原因。

它可以带你到令人惊叹、神奇的地方

超越你最疯狂的梦想，

但它也可以给你提供令人惊叹、宝贵、鼓舞人心的信息，就像这样

我很开心这本书存在，并且今天能够了解

更多关于简的信息，因为

她让我想要成为一个更好的人。

Welcome to Storyline Online

brought to you by the SAG-AFTRA Foundation.

I'm Kiernan Shipka and today I'm going to be reading you

The House That Jane Built written by Tanya Lee Stone and illustrated by Kathryn Brown.

I'm very excited to be reading this to you all.

A house stands on a busy street

Its doors are opened wide, To all who come it bids good cheer,

To some it says, Abide.

In 1889, a wealthy young woman named Jane Addams

moved into a lovely, elegant house in Chicago, Illinois.

But instead of moving into a lovely, elegant neighborhood,

she picked a house that was smack in the middle of one of the filthiest, poorest parts of town.

Why would a wealthy young woman do this when she could have lived anywhere?

Jane was just six years old when she went on a trip with her father

and noticed that not everyone lived like her family did.

She vowed that one day she would live

“right in the midst of horrid little houses” and find a way to fix the world.

Jane was a strong soul from the start.

And she was brave.

When she and her stepbrother George were young,

they would sneak away at night to explore in nearby caves.

Once, Jane lowered George over a cliff

on a rope to spy on an owl in its nest.

Jane was smart.

She read and read from her father’s book collection,

which doubled as the town library.

Most girls did not go to college then,

but Jane’s father believed women should be educated.

She went to Rockford Female Seminary

and graduated at the top of her class.

But when school was over, she wasn’t sure what to do with her life.

That same summer, her father died.

Jane was lost.

About two years later, she and her friends traveled to Europe.

They went to the theater, the opera, and many beautiful places.

But then Jane saw something in London she couldn’t forget:

people in ragged clothes with outstretched hands,

begging a cart vendor to buy his leftover rotten fruits and vegetables

that hadn’t sold at market.

The spoiled food was all they could afford.

What could she do to help?

Long after her trip was over, the question stuck in her mind.

She remembered how she felt when she was six.

Jane traveled back to London to learn about

a place she had heard was helping the poor in a brand-new way.

At Toynbee Hall, the idea was to have rich and poor people live together

in the same community and learn from each other.

Instead of simply serving soup, for example, people could take cooking classes.

Other skills were taught as well.

Toynbee Hall was the first settlement house.

It was called a settlement house because

the well-off people who worked there during the day

didn’t go back to their own homes at night.

Instead, they “settled” in and lived at Toynbee Hall,

right in the same neighborhood as the needy.

Jane now knew what to do.

She told her friend Ellen Gates Starr

about her plan to build a settlement house in Chicago.

It was “as if a racehorse had burst out of the gate,

free at last to pour every ounce of energy into running.”

There was a glittery side to Chicago,

with its mansions, fancy shops, and sparkling lakefront.

But there was a gritty side, too.

One million people lived in Chicago in 1889.

Most were immigrants — people who came from other countries.

They came for a better life, but they didn’t speak English.

That made it hard to find good jobs. Many needed help.

Jane found the perfect house.

It had big rooms with high ceilings and marble fireplaces.

And it was in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city.

Garbage lay rotting in the streets, piled high.

Large families were crammed into tiny, ramshackle houses with no running water.

The smell from back-lot outhouses hung in the air.

Rough boys ran the streets, stirring up trouble because they had nothing to do.

The house had belonged to Charles J. Hull,

and he had left it to a wealthy cousin named Helen Culver.

At first, Jane paid rent, but after she told Helen what she had in mind,

Helen gave her the house for free.

In thanks, Jane named it Hull House.

Jane moved in on September 18, 1889.

The very first night, she was so busy and excited

that she forgot to lock a side door before going to sleep.

But no one broke in.

She decided to leave Hull House unlocked from then on

so people would know they could come in at any time.

People who didn’t have enough to eat or had no shoes on their feet

or had just lost a job began to find their way to Hull House.

Of course, it wasn’t always peaceful.

Once, a couple of boys threw rocks at the house and broke a window.

Instead of getting upset, Jane took it as a sign

to give the neighborhood kids something to do.

She had her own way of looking at things.

Another time, Jane discovered a man in the house looking for something to steal.

He tried to jump out a window to escape,

but she showed him the door so he wouldn’t get hurt.

When he broke in a second time, she asked him why.

He said he was out of work and had no money.

Jane told him to report back the next morning.

When he did, she gave him a job.

Jane spent her own money running Hull House,

and asked other well-off people to donate, too.

She did not want to be paid for working there.

Even when people gave her gifts, she gave them away.

Her friends teased Jane about this.

One friend gave her new underwear with her initials on them just so Jane couldn’t pass them on.

But she did!

Any problem Jane discovered, she tackled.

No running water in houses meant no easy way to bathe.

This led to sickness. So Jane put in a public bath.

People flocked to it, which helped her convince city officials

they needed to build more public baths.

No safe place for children to play?

Jane talked a wealthy man into giving her the lot he owned near Hull House.

Workmen tore down the shabby buildings

and turned the lot into a playground. It was the first one in Chicago!

Little kids home alone because their parents had to work fourteen hours a day?

Jane started a morning kindergarten and after-school clubs.

She also set up afternoon classes for older kids

who had to go to work during the school day.

Jane did not do all this alone.

Ellen Gates Starr was her partner from the start.

Many other smart, generous people moved into Hull House and helped.

They taught literature, art, English, math, science, and cooking.

Soon there was not just one building, but two.

Then three, and four, and more.

By 1907, Hull House had grown into thirteen buildings,

including a gymnasium, coffee house, theatre, music school, community kitchen, and an art gallery.

By the early 1920s, more than nine thousand people a week visited Hull House.

The house that Jane built brought all kinds of people together and helped those in need.

It changed a bad neighborhood into a great and strong community.

Hull House transformed the lives of all who stepped inside.

Today, every community center in America,

in large part, has Jane Addams to thank.

With all that she did, both inside and outside the house that Jane built,

her childhood wish to help fix the world came true.

And the cool part about this story which I love so much

is that its true.

Reading is so magical for so many reasons.

It can bring you to amazing, magical places

that are beyond your wildest dreams,

but it can also give you amazing, valuable, inspiring information like this

and I'm so happy this book exists and that I got to learn

a little bit more about Jane today because

she makes me want to be a better person.
