Chapter Three

The next day after lunch the family had school lessons until 2:00, then John then went back to work and the girls canned cherries. While the girls canned cherries, they sang songs and made funny faces. The family went swimming. Nicola did not swim though. Grandma watched her. Nicola was two. At the pond they had a picnic. In the state of Mississippi, it was hot, hot, hot! They had so much fun at the pond, Peter found two turtles!!! The named the turtles Tip, and Tuck. They had sandwiches and cherry cobbler. They also had carrots and turnips. Nicola wondered off near the woods. All the sudden Shayla screamed! There right in front of Nicola was a huge rattlesnake!
