Sarah Noble was lying under a tree one night. She, her father and
their horse were going to the wilderness. John Noble, her father,
bought a piece of land in New Milford which is far away from their
own land, and they have to go there so her father can build a house
where there family could live.

The darkness was all around her, but through the branches she could
see one bright star. She remembered that in the morning her mother
told her to keep her courage during the trip with her father. So
that night, sleeping under a tree with her father, she began to
hear strange sounds. Her father told her they were an owl, a fox
and a wolf. And Sarah tried to be brave, remembering what her
mother told her about keeping her courage.

They continued to travel in the morning and the next night they
went to a settlement. The saw a house that was brown and it looked
like home. Her father said that they will be staying there for the
night Sarah's father introduced the family to her. The woman named
Mistress Robinsons led them near the fire. Then they invited them
to dinner. That night Sarah and her father slept by the fire.

After travelling some more, Sarah, her father and their horse
Thomas were already weary. The Indian trail had been narrow; the
hills went up and down, up and down. Sarah and her father were
tired, but John Noble said that it's only a mile away. So Sarah
became happy and even picked some pink flowers and put some on the
ear of Thomas.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
John Noble found a cave in the side of a hill, and made a hut for
him and Sarah. He said that they will live there until the house is
built. Below there was a valley, and there was the Great River.
Sarah looked and looked and liked its beauty.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
The piece of land was very good, and John Noble would build a home
that is big and he would build a fence and shed. While he built the
house, Sarah Noble would stay in the cave and guard their
place.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
When her father and Thomas went she got her Bible and read lots of
stories. Sarah would read on and on. And then one day she heard
sounds. There was a rustling sound of feet coming quietly nearer
and nearer to her. And Sarah saw a bright eye peering at her
through a clink in the log fence.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
They were INDIANS!
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
They were crowding to her, but they were young Indians, not any
older then she was. Still, there were many of them and Sarah was
afraid. But she remembered the Words of her mother. So she opened
The Bible and read to them. They came nearer and nearer.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
The Indian children came back again and again to play with Sarah.
She was not afraid of them anymore, and she began to know each one.
She liked a brother and a sister better than all the others. They
would go together where the wild strawberries grew. And when John
Noble would come home with a duck he had shot, or a fish caught in
the river, Sarah would cook for him and also give him ripe
berries.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
Sarah visited their houses, and found out that her father has a
friend named Tall John. And Tall John is the father of her friends.
They had lots of fun.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
Finally, when the house was finished, Sarah's father need to get
their family so they can all live in the new house. Her father told
her that Tall John will keep her safe until he comes back. Sarah
was sad and was scared, but she kept her courage. She went with
Tall John and kissed her father goodbye.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
Sarah became friends with the Indian children and played with them
every day. She also helped the women when they spread the corn out
to dry. Until one day, Sarah found her father has come back. She
was so happy to see her family! She left the house of Tall John to
stay with her mother and the baby and all her brothers and sisters
were in their new house.
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
"line-height:normal;margin-top:1.2em;margin-bottom:.0001pt;color:#333333;font-family:'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;">
Sarah's mother told her that she had been brave. She had kept her
courage in all the things that happened to her and she was growing
fast. She gave Sarah that doll that they brought, and Sarah was
happy to see the rest of her family finally together.
