Annie placed the pouch on the floor--next, to thescrolls from Shakespeare and the twig⁵ from thegorillas of the cloud forest.

"Let's go," she said.

"You know, Pilgrim kids had a really hard life," saidAnnie.

"Yeah. They did as much work as the grown-ups,"said Jack. "Maybe more.""Worst of all, lots of their friends and familymembers died," said Annie.

"Yeah," said Jack.

Both were silent for a moment.

"If they could be so thankful," said Annie, "weshould be really thankful.""No kidding," said Jack. "Really, really thankful."And they were.
