These colonists had better success. Soon, there was a pretty little village with many fine farms round about it.  \nThen other English people, called Puritans, thought that they would like to found a colony in America. So one day another ship, the Mayflower, started out from England. For days and days it sailed, and by and by, a storm drove it in upon the coast of Massachusetts.  \nIt was mid-winter, and ice and snow were piled up high along the coast.  \nThe picture above shows what the shore looked like at that time. Today, it is covered with houses, churches, and big buildings.  \n1. What was the name of the Puritans’ship?  \na. Lusitania  \nb. Mayflower  \nc. Nina  \nd.

The Puritan colonists built their first houses out of  .  \na. bricks  \nb. logs  \nc. mud  \nd. stone  \nOne day, a Native American walked into the village. He stared atthe English people, and the English people stared at him.  \n\"The Englishmen's hats are very strange,\" the Native American thought.  \n\"The Native American’s feathers are very strange,\" the Englishmen thought.  \nBy and by the Native American said, \"Welcome, Englishmen!\" To be sure, he said these words in a very strange way to English ears, but the colonists understood. They were glad enough to find the Native American so friendly.  \nThey invited him into their homes. They gave him presents. By and by, they sent him to bring his chief.  \nThe chief came, and the Englishmen and the chief talked together a long time. They agreed that there should be no fighting between them. And as long as this chief lived, there was no trouble between the Native Americans and English colonists.  \n3. The Puritans and Native Americans got along at this time.  \na. True  \nb.

Her name was Betty Alden, and she grew tobe the roundest-faced, reddestcheeked, happiest little girl that ever was.  \nFree Printables for K-12 Education [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \n4.

Colonial babies were always taken to the meetinghouses to be christened on their first Sunday, no matter what the weather was.  \nchristened  \nAfter this first Sunday, Betty did not go to the meeting-house for sometime. Then a little cage was made for her to sit in, while her father and mother listened to the long sermon.  \nSometimes Betty cried, and it was often so cold that her tears froze upon her little cheeks. Betty's mother was sorry for her baby, but it could not be helped. There was no way to heat the meeting-houses, and it was not the custom for babies to sit with their mothers during sermon time.  \nsermon  \nFree Printables for K-12 Education [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nBetty was rocked in a cradle made just like the one you see in the picture above. When she grew older, she sat up to the table in a chair just like the one below.  \nThen, she was taught to walk in a funny little go-cart like that shown below. And the cradle, the chair, and the go-cart have been copied for this book from old ones which have been kept all these hundreds of years.  \nNow, the people in this English colony were very strict.
