Daddy-Long-Legs

The book which I have read this week called "Daddy-Long-Legs". The book is telling about the story of an orphan whose name is Jerusha Abbott and a mysterious rich man who wanted to be called Mr.John Smith.
Mr.John Smith supplied Jerusha to go to a college. He afforded all her costs and tuitions, he didn't expect any gratitude but monthly letters from Jerusha. He asked Jerusha to wrtite him a letter once a month to report him about her school life, grades, emotions...etc. Jerusha's friends called her Judy in campus, and Jerusha liked her new name. Judy wrote to Mr.John Smith very often, and she called Mr.Smith as "Daddy-Long-Legs". Judy had never saw Mr.Smith, so she could only imagine how Daddy-Long-Legs looked like. In her imagination, Mr.Smith has long legs and that's way she called him Daddy-Long-Legs.
