When my family got off the boat many of them were very weak. We had been on the Mayflower for two months. We were going to the new land to have freedom. My mother, father, brothers, and sister were also weak. I was the weakest considering I have recovered from Scurvy. I had gotten Scurvy from not eating a lot of fruits and vegetables. My father had to carry me off the boat. I recovered very quickly. The new land looked wonderful. The skies were blue, the trees were green, we could not wait to start our new living.=====

''Wow, look at the wonderful new land," I said excitedly.
Soon the wonderful new land turned into horrible land. Winter had come and more people died in the harsh winter. They got too cold or too hungry. Luckily, our family did fine. There were many blizzards. Most of the houses were damaged. When winter had passed and many of us were so happy. After all the snow melted, we started to explore our new land. After a couple of weeks we were all settled in. It was like we have been living here for a long time.

Then a Pilgrim man came out of the crowded and he started to translate what the Native Amarican was saying. His name was Squanto. He was a part of the Womponoage tribe. He was wondering what we were doing on the land. We told him that we came here to be free from England. Then __Scounto__ left. A few days __later Scounto__ came back with ten men and a few children. I played with many of the W__amponoage__ children. The girl that I found most __enteresting,__ and that I played with the most, was a girl that looked about nine or ten. Her name was Fast Fox. She was tall and had black hair. She was very nice. I could not understand her very well. I tried very hard.=====

__They (who is they?)__came to teach our people how to plant crops and fish for fish. My mother and my father were paying close attention to what the __Wamponoages__ were doing. I just kept on playing __With__ Fast Fox and my friends.=====

My mother was almost finished making Cathlene's bed. We did not bring our beds on the Mayflower. There was not enough room. The first day we got to the new land my mother finished her bed, my bed, and __Jons bed__. __Michale__ had to share with Jon and Cathlene had to share with me.=====

That morning when I woke up my dad was going to hunt for some duck by the nearby lake. When he came back he said that he had shot the duck from the sky. Hunting is not really my thing so I did not care as much as my brothers did. They were __practicly__ drooling over the duck. I just __dicided__ to go outside and help mother with her crops. She was planting corn. The __Womponoags__ told us that was the name of the crop.=====

=
We __dicided__ to have a big feast. All of our crops have been doing so well. We were very __greatful__. We got together all the men and a few boys and told them to go and hunt or fish. The women that got left behined __tented__ the garden, got together __erbs__ and __gatherd__ some clams.=====

Later that day when the men got back we were amazed. They had killed 4 dear, 3 ducks, and found some wild berries. My brother __Michale__ wanted to touch the deer but mother scolded him to stay away from it.=====

"OOOH, do I have to?" I wondered.
__" Yes__ you __do"__ said my mother I had a big and gross job. I had to __peal of__ the feathers of the ducks. Luckily there __was__ not many. My brothers had to skin the deer. My little sister had to help my mother pick the crops that were ready to be picked. I would rather pick crops __that than peal__ a duck. After a long days work when every one was don__e we__ all went to bed and the next day we all were ready for the feast. We were going to invite the __Womonoage's__ to share the feast. We would not be having some of this food if the W__omponoag's__ didn't help us. Another reason was that there was going to be __to__ much food for just 50 pilgrams. There was food for more than 100 people. All my friends were coming, even Fast Fox. The Womponoags were going to bring __there__ leader Massosoit, or great leader. He broght 90 men and women. I played with the other children that came. The food that we had was __dilicus__. The feast was fun. We ate duck, dear, berries,clams,corn,and a little rabbit.

After the feast we had to clean up. The __Womponoags__ had a two day journey so they __dicited__ to stay with us for two weeks. They had to make t__here__ own houses. Our houses were alredy too __crowed__.=====
