Her sails skim the skies as she journeys along."

felled for the houses as bitter winds blow."

These are the birch trees, budding in spring,

nestlings of robins and promise they bring.

Answer: c.) the Patuxet

"These are the cornstalks, soldiers of maize,

gathered in sheaves during harvesting days.

These are the baskets of plentiful crops,

that ripened in forests where golden deer run~

a harvest of plenty, all gathered with pride.

"Thanks be to God, who doth us provide!"

Question #4: For how many days did the people celebrate the first Thanksgiving?

The only two people who had all of the questions answered correctly (without Googling them! :) were Noel and Larry. Therefore, I will send each of you a $5.00 Starbucks card if you email me your addresses. Congratulations! Enjoy at least one tall drink on me!

Tomorrow, for the third day of the tour, I will have my third grade class' reactions to this beautiful book.
