Josh and the Wagon Train
Josh had been sad about leaving his home, but he wanted to see what they would find in the West. There were six other wagons in the wagon train. Sometimes Josh walked with other children alongside the wagons. One day Jenny Hanson got lost. The wagons stopped and everyone searched for her. They found her with blackberry-stained lips!
Each night the wagons formed a U-shape. The men made a fire in the center. The women cooked food while the children played together. Pete Jensen played his banjo, and everyone sang songs.
One hot day, Josh was swaying along with the wagon. It seemed like the plains stretched out forever into the horizon. Josh wondered if they would ever get to the land that would be their home. Suddenly, one of the men shouted, “River ahead!”
Josh’s father sat up straight. They had crossed one river before. The powerful water had carried away some of their belongings. Josh remembered seeing his whistle floating down the stream. He hoped this time would be different.
Josh’s mother put her arms around him. Their wagon finally reached the river. They saw Pete Jensen wading into the river. After a few minutes, Pete Jensen stood in the middle of the river. “Look!” he said with a grin. “The water only comes up to my knees. This one will be easy to cross!”
A cheer went up from the wagon train. Josh’s parents were smiling for the first time in months. Josh hoped for more good fortune on the rest of their journey.
What do you learn at the beginning of the story?
That Josh plays the banjo.
That Josh is part of a wagon train.
