Chapter 2: The Town Fair

As soon as the wagon was loaded, the set off, for if the stayed any longer they would be late.

After 30 minutes of the drive, Martha and Lottie bcame bored.

"It's only been a half an hour." observed Sarah.

"We'll probably be there in 5 minutes. Now calm down." father anounced.

"Okay." sighed Martha. But the 10 minutes felt like hours to Martha. Tom thought it funny and laughed.

"I'm cold." Lottie complained.

"Alright." soothed mother, wrapping a blanket around her.

Soon they were finally at the town fair! Everyone piled out of the wagon.

They all jumped up and down with glee. Caroline and Elsa went to see the pigs, and who would win the prise. And mother took Martha and Lottie to look at the pumpkins. Tom and father came with them, for Tom had a pumpkin he wanted to bring to see if it would win 1st place. It was very big, orange, fat but not as good-looking as the others.

"I think you're going to win 1st place, Tom!" Martha cried.

Tom just laughed and said, "Thanks, but I don't think so myself." And he was right, he won 3th place. A boy named Jim won 1st, and a boy named Michael won 2nd.

Mother smiled and put a hand on Tom's shoulder. "Even though your pumkin didn't win first place, I think it's the best one of all." she said.

"Aw, thanks, Mama."

Soon Caroline and Elsa came rushing toward them. "The pig whom we wanted to win the prise won!" they gasped.

"Oh, how lovely! But do you know where Sarah and Laura are?" said mother,

"Yes, they're playing games."

"Oh." winked mother.

"They're playing games? Oh, may we go with them, father?" asked Tom, axiously.

"Oh, alright." he answered.

"Yay!" and off they went.

"Oh, hello, father, hello, Tom." greeted Sarah when they reached the games.

"Hello." they said.

"Woah!" Tom cried in amazment, already playing a game that father let him play after a lot of promising and begging. It was worth the begging and promising, for he enjoyed it.

Soon it was time for lunch, so mother bought them all a sanwitch, which was a penny a peice.

"Yummy!" said Lottie while she ate her sanwitch. Father smiled with a twinkle in his eye.

After lunch mother anounced that they had to go. Martha and Lottie began to cry, but deep down inside they were happy that they had the most wonderful time.
