“Please take my penny(便士)，” Maggie said to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets. “Please take it，” she said again. Old Dan smiled, and took it. “Thank you, little girl，” he said.
After that, Maggie went to the beach to collect sea shells. She never thought how fast time went by. Two hours later, she sat down on a rock beside a little pool, and Dan's large dog Rover jumped down from a rock! He made a loud noise, and then began to pull her coat gently. “Rover wishes me to leave here, I see，” she said, and she rose from the rock and began to go home. However, she found the places she had got down easily was now very difficult to climb up, and because the tide(潮水) had been in for some time, she found some of the stones wet and smooth.
What could poor Maggie do? She felt sad and cried, but the tide made a much louder noise than she could make. Rover jumped upon a big stone and raised his loud bark until even the tide could not drown(淹没) it. Finally, Dan heard the loud barking of the dog. He came in a boat and brought Maggie and Rover safely to the land!
“It was the penny that did it, Madam，” Dan said to Maggie's mother later. “I saw Rover looking at her when she put the penny so kindly into my hand—just as if he would have said, ‘Rover will be your friend now, little girl.’ And I am thinking he has looked after her all day, because he never came near me after that.”
Some years later, Rover came to Maggie's home with a little note, in which was written—“Will Maggie help Rover？—his master is dead.”

A. ①③④② B. ③①④②
C. ③①②④ D. ①③②④
( )4. Why did Rover look after Maggie all day according to Dan's words?
A. Because Rover noticed Maggie's kind action and felt like being with her.
B. Because Maggie was a friend of Dan's family.
C. Because Maggie often came to play with Rover.
