"Puppy" I called " let's go swimming!" "Woof" he barked back. "Come on boy" I said happily. I ran to the creek & hopped in with Puppy at my heels. As we splashing I heard a voice. "Excuse me" said the voice "would you like a mouser?" I froze, "I don't know that voice" I told myself. I looked up, there stood a pilgrim girl. "Would you like a mouser?" she asked again. She was holding a kitten that was colored black and white. "Don't you want it?" I questioned. "We have 3 more at our house" she answered "& I want him to have a good home." "O.K." I said happily "we would love to have him." "Will you take good care of him?" "I wouldn't dream not to" "Bye" As soon as she was gone I ran back to our wetu, sat on my mat put the kitten on my lap & studied him. He was black with a white spot on his chest. "I know what I'll name you!" I exclaimed "I'll call you Pilgrim!" "Kids" my mom yelled "time to eat." "Coming"

I asked. "We are going to a feast to celebrate the pilgrims' first harvest" he answered "we will be about a week, so you will need extra clothes." "Do I need any other things?"** "yes**, we will be making a new wetu there, so you will need your ax & you will need your bow because we will be hunting deer to make venison." "O.K." i packed all my stuff in my bag made of deerskin and set it with my mat next to the fire then went outside to play.** The next day we left. When we got there i dropped my stuff, grabbed my ax and went of to chop trees for a new wetu.when we had enough trees meandf my dad made the wetu and made a fire in the middle so we could cook dinner. for dinner my family had fish from the creek. the next day we went the pilgrim village. when we got there mom said we ecsplore but we had to weet back at the wetu when the sun was highest in the sky. afttr we split up i decided two find some pilgrim children twoplay with. why'll i was looking i saw a stren. i was suddenly vrery thirsty. as i was drrinkinking i heard a very loud nioise.
