hereby name this rock Plymouth rock!” “Is that the only name you know?” “Hmm…”
“Sounds great to me! Let’s go!”

And
so the pilgrims got off the boat and began the hard work of setting up a settlement in the New World. Now
I don’t know whose idea it was to try to build a settlement at the beginning of
winter but needless to say, the pilgrim
had it pretty rough.
“How was you hunting? I’m hungry…”
“Fish fillet for anyone?” “Urh! Oh, Lord, please, have
mercy on us!”

Finally,
the long, hard winter passed and spring came, my favourite time of year. The

And as for me, for some reason they decided to give me a new home where lots of
