The Story of the Pilgrims

I was reading this story tonight to the boys. It is not the first time they have heard it. For the first few pages Luke was talking a lot. I told him if he knew the story so well, maybe he should tell it. He happily agreed.

Luke:"Everybody do this" and he wiggles his fingers. The picture shows them getting off the boat and walking up the hill.

Turn page

Luke:"Everybody fixes." They are working on their huts.

Turn page

Luke:"Everybody in snow."

Turn page:"Everybody. . .Mommy can you tell me?"

Mommy:"Is there anyone special on the page?"

Luke:"Ah, yes, Jesus (pointing to a pilgrim).

Mommy:"Anyone else?"

Luke:"Mommy, can you tell me?"

Mommy:"Samoset"

Luke:"Yep, Samoset"

Turn page

Luke:"Look, there Samoset again!"

Mommy:"That is Squanto"

Luke:"Yep, Squanto. . . .and Samoset"

Mommy:"Do you think I should read the rest now?"

Luke:"Of Course"

Love that kid. He was quiet as a mouse the rest of the story. Great storyteller. : )
