January 1,1892 It was summer and my family and I were free from being slaves.I had a little sister named Megan. "Do u think they will come again?" I asked carefully. "I don't think so." My mom answered. We went to church and a family greeted us.They were Mrs.Hake,Mr.Hake,their son Max,and their daughter Madison or Maddie. "We could build a farm for yours to keep." Mrs.Hake said to my mother. "Oh.No thank you Mrs.Hake.We'll just build it." "Are you sure Mrs.Medulla?I got helpers!" "Please mom.Pleasee." I pleaded. "Oh all right." "Okay.Let's start tomorrow morning when you wake up." "Thank you very much Mrs.Hake." "Your always welcome Mrs.Medulla." When they were done talking,we went to our new house that someone gave to us. We went inside and it was pretty warm inside. "It's pretty warm in here."I said touching the kitchen table.My little sister was sleepy.Mom put her to bed and I went outside to help Mr.Hake plant vegetables.My specialty is planting vegetables. It was really fun and I got paid one dollar.
January 2,1892 I went back and I was so tired.I went to sleep to get some rest.My mom and dad weren't home.They were at Mr.and Mrs.Hake's house talking again.They were talking about the farm we were having. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next day I was drawing with my sister.She drew good because my specialty wasn't drawing.She drew the lake,garden of Mr. and Mrs.Hake,and me helping Mr.Hake.I got paid two dollars today ad felt good. "Spend that if u need to.You can buy a candy.And stuff u need." "Thank you Mr.Hake." "Always,son." Then I showed Megan my money. "Now I have three dollars Megan!Mr.Hake said we can spend it for candy or stuff we need!" Megan jumped up and down. "Can you buy me doll?" "When I have enough money Megan." "Okay!" She hugged me tight.The door flung open and Mom and Dad came inside.They were happy.They show us the money they had. "We got money Dave and Megan!" "Yay!" Megan jumped up and down and hugged Mom. "Where did you get all that money?"I touched all the money and Dad gave it to me. "A neighbor paid us!" "What's their name?" "Mr.and Mrs.Hamilton.They got a son too." "Okay.Can I play with them?Mr.and Mrs. Hake's son and daughter?Even Mrs.and Mr.Hamilton's son please so Megan can play with Madison." "All right.But don't go near the lake!It's too deep there!" "We won't!" I grabbed Megan's hand and we went to go play with the sons and daughter. Megan skipped and I just walked when we were tired from running.
We were at Mr.and Mrs.Hake's house to play with Max and Madison. "Mrs.Hake,can we play with Max and Madison?" "Oh sure.But did your mom tell u not to go to the lake?" "Yes.And we won't." "Yes,we pwomise." Mrs.Hake laughed. "Okay.Have fun then!Remember!Don't go near the Lake!" "We won't!" Max and Madison followed us. "Let's go to our backyard!"Max said. "Okay.Let's go." Max is the same height as me.And Megan is the same height as Maddie's.We were there. "Megan,you can go play with Madison.And max and I will go play too.But don't go near the lake!Only here!" "Okay!" Max and I played hide and seek.Max was it and I hid on a big bush taller than me. "Dave!Where are you?Hmm.Where could you be?" Then Max spotted me behind a bush. "Found you!" I laughed and he laughed too. "Let's go find our sisters." "Okay.Let's go." We went and found our sisters playing sand. "Dinner!!" Mrs.Hake shouted and we went inside. "Oh my,Madison and Megan!Were u kids playing in the sand?" "Except for us." Mrs.Hake laughed and she cleaned up Madison and Megan while we ate dinner.Then mom and dad came in and they got more money. Mrs.Hake came out of the bathroom. "What's for dinner mom?" Max asked Mrs.Hake. "Bacon,boiled eggs,orange juice,and steak." "Come on Dave!Let's eat bacon and steak first!" "Uh-uh-Uh!" Max and I looked at Mrs.Hake. "First,you kids need to wash hands!" "Oops!"Max and I both said. We washed our hands and then ate dinner.The bacon and steak was really good.And I meant reallygood!
Dinner was good.My sister and I went home.Mom and Dad were cooking. "Where were you kids?" "Mr.and Mrs.Hake's backyard playing." "Playing what?" "Max and I were playing hide and seek while Megan and Madison were playing in the sand. "Oh my.That's why Megan is dirty a little!" I laughed. "Mrs.Hake cleaned both of them up." "Come on.Let's eat!" "But we already ate at Mrs.Hake's." I burped. "That explains why you burped!" I laughed again. "Mwommy,I want dolly." "Oh,we'll buy it Megan.Don't worry." Mom hugged her tight. "Max and I ate bacon and steak first!It really taste good!" "Well,your dad and I have been spending time helping Mr.and Mrs.Hamilton." "Oh yeah.That reminds me.Why didn't Megan and I let their play with us?" "Oh my,you must have forgotten!" "I think we did." We laughed and laughed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I was sitting under a tree when a boy came up to me. "Hello." "You must be Dave." "How'd you know?" "Your Mom ad Dad told me so much about you." "Yes." "Want to play baseball with me?" "Sure.But where?My mom said not to go near the lake." "Okay.Let's go to Max's backyard." "You know him too?" "Yes." "Oh,well let's go then!" We ran and walked at the same time.
Max saw us running. "Hey Dave.Hey Joseph." "You know him too Max?" "Yes.We met two hours ago when u weren't here." "Let's be all friends!" "Yeh!That would be cool!" "Let's go to my backyard again!" "Okay." We went and Mrs.Hake saw us. "Oh my,who's this friend of yours Max and Dave?" "He's name is Joseph." "Nice name Joseph." "Thank you!" "You kids play and I'll call my helpers that will build your parents' farm Dave." "Okay." Mrs.Hake went. "Your having a farm?" "Yes." "Woah." We laughed. "Lets play hide and seek." "Dave and I played that an hour ago and it was fun!" "Okay,if you guys already played that,let's play another game." "It's okay!" "We can play it again!" "Okay.Who's it?" "I'll be it." "Okay Max.Count to ten." "Okay.One...Two...Three...Four..Five.Six.Seven..Eight..Nine..Ten!!Here I come!" Joseph and I hid behind the tallest bush ever!! "Woah." "I know." "Come on." "Where are you guys?" Then he spotted Me and Joseph. "Your a good finder Max!" "Thanks!" "Let's go inside!" "Okay!" We went inside the house and Madison was playing with her toys. "Hi Madison." "Hwi!" She waved at us and we laughed.
January 4, The next day was great. I woke up and changed my clothes.I was smelling bacon,steak,orange juice,and boiled eggs. "Dave!!"Mom called. "I'll be right down!" Megan came into my room and handed me a new and clean backpack. "What's this for?" "School." "What do u mean school Megan?" Mom came into my room too. "Good news Dave!" "What is it?And what's this backpack for?" "Your going to school today!" "Really?!" "Yes,Dave." "Okay." "Come on.Come eat first." Mom went and I followed her. "I'm going to eat bacon and steak first!" I ate bacon and steak.Then I drank orange juice.I wiped my face. "I put your lunch there!Bye!" "Bye mom!" I grabbed my backpack and went to school.Max and Joseph saw me because they were going to school too. "Your going to school too?" "Yes." "Come one.Let's go together." "Okay." We went talking and laughing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We were at school and everybody greeted us. "Hey.I'm Dwayne."We waved at him. "I'm Annie." "There's lots of people here greeting us!" "Yep." We went to our locker.The bell rang and we went to class.We went to history class first. "I like history!" "Me too!I didn't know Luo Guanzhong's fourteenth century historical novel about Hinayana was Romance of the three Kingdoms !" "Yeh!"
