Let others dwell in Vineland if they will. I will stay in Greenland, where the ice sparkles and where the sky is bright with red and purple and gold.\"  \nGreenland  \nOne day as Leif Ericson sat in the doorway of his Northern hut, two gilded dragon ships came sailing toward his shores.  \ngilded  \n\"They are from Iceland!\" he cried.  \nThen Leif's good friend Biorne (Be-ern) ran down to the shore to look.  \n\"One is the ship of Karlsefni,\"Biorne said. \"I remember the stripes of blue and white with which he used to paint his ship.\"  \nYes, it was the ship of Karlsefni. He had sailed for days and days across the waters to find his old friends, Leif and Biorne.  \n1. To whom does the approaching ship belong?  \na. Biorne  \nb. Karlsefni  \nc. Leif Ericson  \nd. Olaf  \n\"Tell me,\" he said to Leif. \"About this wonderful Vineland that you found in the west. Do its shores stretch north and south for miles and miles? Is the air soft and warm? Tell me about  \nthe trees that lost their leaves in the  \nwinter and found them again in the summer. Are there grapes and fruits of many kinds?\"  \n\"It is as you have said,\" Leif answered. He then told Karlsefni the long story of his voyage and of the land that he had found.  \n\"Would not this new country make a good home for our people?\"asked Karlsefni.  \n\"It is indeed a beautiful country,\"said Leif.  \nSoon Karlsefni set out with his two ships to find the land that Leif had discovered so many months before – North America.  \nNow because Karlsefni went to make a home for his people, he took with him his beautiful fair-haired wife, Gudrid (Goo-drid), and Leif's brave little son, Olaf. The other men, too, took their families, and their household furniture, and their cows. They were as happy a band of colonists as ever crossed the seas.  \ncolonists  \n2. Karlsefni traveled to North America alone.  \na. True  \nb. False  \nBy and by they reached the shore of North America, and landed not far from the place where Leif first found the grapes and the warm sunshine.  \nThe men set to work with goodwill and soon built a village. They traded with the Skrellings for the warm, furry skins ofthe animals which they had killed. Everything went well with the newcomers and the natives.  \nBefore long a little baby was born in the colony. Its father, Karlsefni, and its mother, Gudrid, were the proudest father and mother in all the world.  \n\"The baby is a true little Norseman,\" said Gudrid. \"See how blue his eyes are, and how yellow his hair is!\"  \n\"He is beautiful like his mother, and strong like his father,\" said the people.  \nFrom the very day the baby was born, Olaf (Leif’s son) loved him. He made a little hammock for him, such as  \nFree Printables for K-12 Education [www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com](www.STUDENTHANDOUTS.com)  \nthose the Skrellings rocked their babies in; and he liked nothing better than to play with him the whole day long.  \n3. Olaf adored Snorri.  \na. True  \nb. False  \nBy and by Snorri—that was the baby's name — was big enough to walk. Then Olaf would take him down to the waterside to play in the sand.  \nNow, one reason Karlsefni came to this new land was to find mazer wood; for Leif Ericson had said, \"Thereis much mazer wood in this country; enough for all the people in Europe.\"  \n4. What type of wood do the Norsemen want?  \n\"But what is mazer wood?\" Olaf asked; for he was quite too young to know. So Leif explained to Olaf that mazer wood was the wood of those warts or burrs so often to be seen upon the trunks of trees. The people of Europe wanted mazer wood because it  \nFree Printables for K-12 Education  \nwas hard and tough and firm. It would neither break nor warp nor crack. People could carve upon it and it would endure for centuries as if it were rock.  \ncenturies  \nStill Olaf wondered.
