Mr.Ambrose.\"We only have room in the wagon forsupplies,so I′m afraid you and the children mustwalk,\"he explained to his wife.  \n“We will do what we must,Jacob.Oregon soundslike the best place for our family.Farmland is plentifuland rich.Despite all of your hard work here,we barelymade ends meet.Our lives will be better in Oregon.\"  \nAs she spoke,Mrs.Ambrose smiled down at babySarah and then at her other three children.She andher husband had often relied on 10-year-old William.He helped with farm chores and with the other  \nchildren,Becky and 5-year-old Micah.Micah alreadyhad a reputation as a mischief-maker.  \nMrs.Ambrose knew the journey would be longand difficult,but the children  \ndid deserve the kind ofsecure future thatOregon promised.3  \nSlipping over to his father,William asked in aquiet voice,“Did you truly sell Smokey and Red?”  \n\"Yes,son,\"his father replied.\"I know you lovedthe horses,but a journey of this kind would be toomuch for them.Oxen,although slower,are better forplodding among the prairie grasses and trudgingthrough the muddy river bottoms.\"  \n\"I just wish I could have said goodbye.\"Williamsaid sadly.“We’ve left so much behind.I missGrandmother and Grandfather already.\"  \nMr.Ambrose could only nod because his throat,too,was clogged with emotion.Their wagon had noroom for family keepsakes,and their few books werepacked and stored at his parents'home.He worriedthat it might be a mistake to take his young family onsuch a long and dangerous journey.  \nBefore he could speak,however,Mr.Ambrose sawWilliam briskly wipe his eyes with the back of hishand.With a firm voice,the boy announced,\"I thinkit's a good thing we’re doing,Father.I just know we'llbe happy in Oregon!\"  \nMr.Ambrose's heart swelled with pride.GivingWilliam a brief hug,he declared,“Then let's startpacking our new wagon!\"  \n# Packing for the Journey\n\n\"Father,Mother said we would have a PrairieSchooner.This looks like a regular wagon to me,\"William commented.  \n\"It will be a true Prairie Schooner after we makea few changes,\"Mr.Ambrose replied.\"A PrairieSchooner is a farm wagon with two floors;the topfloor hides two storage compartments.I made thebottom watertight so it will float across rivers.We'lladd those bows to the sides and stretch that cottonbetween them.Then we'll have a Schooner!\"  \nThe two worked together,loading boxes.Hugebags and barrels filled with sugar,flour,butter,ham,tea,dried fruit,corn meal,and more came next.Mr.Ambrose smiled at the thought of the eggs he hadcarefully stored in the flour bags.With luck,theywould be cushioned from the wagon's bumps andjolts so the family could enjoy eggs","cbCaiaxqwPkx4ayJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaxqwPkx4ayJ","pdf",2054741,"English","# A New
