One afternoon, Turtle stopped by. ‘ “Thate to get in the way and interfere with your ©,/ y meal, but those bananas look wonderful,” said Turtle. = ‘ “Tam so hungry.” \ Anansi knew he should share with others. It was a big part of his culture. But he was hungry and didn’t want to share. He decided to play a trick on Turtle. “Please, help yourself,” Anansi said with a sly grin.104 Turtle reached for the food. “Shouldn’t you wash your hands?” asked Anansi. “Oh, yes!” Turtle said. When Turtle returned, Anansi had eaten half of the bananas. “T didn’t want the bananas to spoil,” said Anansi. Turtle got closer and made another attempt to eat. Anansi stopped him again. “Turtle, please go wash your hands,” he said. Turtle knew his hands were clean, but Anansi still thought they were filthy. However, Turtle was too shy and timid to say no. When he returned Anansi had eaten the rest of the fruit. “Ha, ha, I tricked you, Turtle,” said Anansi. “You didn’t get any bananas!”Turtle was angry at Anansi. He decided to teach that nasty spider a lesson. “Please come to my house at the bottom of the lake for dinner tomorrow,” said Turtle. Anansi quickly said yes. He loved free food. Turtle couldn’t trick Anansi alone, so he decided to ask Fish to get involved and help make a plan. Turtle found Fish at the lake. “Fish, I need your help,” he said. “With your cooperation, we can trick Anansi.” Anansi had tricked Fish many times so Fish was happy to help. Together the two friends created a clever plan.The next day, Anansi went to the lake. Fish met him at the water’s edge. “Come Anansi,” said Fish. “We will swim to Turtle’s house together.” Anansi jumped into the water. He was a clumsy and awkward swimmer. He was also very light. “How will I ever get down to Turtle’s house?” he cried. Fish knew what to say. “Grab some heavy stones. Then you will sink, not float.” Anansi picked up two big stones, jumped into the lake, and sank down, down, down. Fish swam at his side. At Turtle’s house, Anansi saw a wonderful feast of berries.“Welcome, Anansi,” said Turtle. “Drop those stones and help yourself.” As soon as Anansi dropped the stones, he rocketed to the surface of the lake. Anansi sputtered furiously. “Fish and Turtle tricked me,” he cried angrily. Back at the bottom of the lake, Turtle and Fish laughed and laughed. “We worked together and taught Anansi a lesson,” said Turtle. “What a good way to solve a problem,” said Fish. “Let's eat!” z) Tell how Turtle and Fish worked together to trick Anansi.

Read about why one family came to America.4) Nora woke early. She hadn’t slept much. It was March, 1895. Da was leaving for America today. Uncle Ed had immigrated there last year and found work right away. He had asked Da to join him. It was Mama and Da’s dream to one day live in America. Nora lit a lamp for light and sat down at the table. Her brother, Danny, joined her. “T feel like crying,” he whispered softly. “I know,” Nora answered. “So do I, but this is Da and Mama’s dream. Da will find work and send for us. Look at the photographs that Uncle Sean sent. n’t America look grand?”120 “T don’t want to ever leave Ireland,” Danny said. “We won't have any friends in America. We'll be far away from Grandda, Paddy, and Colleen.” “Maybe you'll be glad it isn’t Ireland,” Nora said. “There will be enough food to eat. Mama and Da can relax and not worry so much. We'll all have a better life. America will be the land of our dreams.” Then Da carried a bag into the room. “Cheer up, my little loves! Why, in no time at all, you'll be joining me.”A year later, Da had saved enough money to send for his family. Mama, Danny, and Nora packed what little they had. They got on a crowded steamship and began their voyage. The trip across the Atlantic Ocean was rough. The air inside the steamship smelled like a dirty sock. The ship tossed up and down for days. The waves were as big as mountains. Many passengers became seasick, but Nora and Danny felt fine. Every day Nora daydreamed and reread Da’s letters. She thought of the buildings and streetcars he wrote about. In her dreams, she could picture Da on a crowded street. He had a big smile on his face.One morning, Nora awoke. A moment later, she realized something was different. The ocean was as smooth as glass. A few hours later, Nora, Danny, and Mama shivered together on the ship’s deck. Snowflakes drifted through the air. Another traveler noticed and gave them a blanket. It was as thin as a rag, but nothing could have been more valuable to them. Suddenly, someone shouted, “There’s Lady Liberty!” As the ship passed the large statue, the crowd cheered. Someone shouted, “At last, we’ve arrived! We are in America.” Soon, everyone was singing and dancing.iz } N 5 ) A ferry took the travelers to Ellis Island. In the main hall, doctors inspected the family. They looked for signs of illness. Mama had to answer many questions. Nora knew that people didn’t get an opportunity, or another chance, to take these tests twice. Nora looked at Danny, then at Mama. They had. to pass. After a few hours, the family learned they could stay in America. As they filed off the ferry, Nora saw Uncle Sean’s dark hair. Then she saw Da. His hands waved wildly. He had a big smile on his face. Dreams do come true, Nora thought as she waved back. Make Connections Why did Nora and her family immigrate to America? How would the move make their lives better?
