He was gov-ern-or of one of the islands of the West Indies. Miss Lucas was fond of trying new things. She often got seeds from her father. These she planted in South Carolina. Her father sent her some seeds of the in-di-go plant. She sowed some of these in March. But there came a frost. The in-di-go plant cannot stand frost. Her plants all died. But Miss Lucas did not give up.
Once he saw some of them jumping. They were trying to see who could jump the farthest. Penn had been a very active boy. He knew how to jump very well. He went to the place where the Indians were jumping. He jumped farther than any of them. When the great gov-ern-or took part in their sport, the Indians were pleased. They loved Brother O-nas more than ever.
The gov-ern-or gave the poor man the very last flour that he had in the barrel. Just then a ship was seen. It sailed up toward Boston. It was loaded with food for all the people. The time for the fast day came. But there was now plenty of food. The fast day was turned into a thanks-giving day. One day a man sent a very cross letter to Gov-ern-or Win-throp. Win-throp sent it back to him.
Roads were made. But it took many years for the country to fill with people. The first white people that came to live in the woods where Boston is now, settled there a long time ago. They had a gov-ern-or over them. He was a good man, and did much for the people. His name was John Win-throp. The first thing the people had to do was to cut down the trees. After that they could plant corn.
"Forward... to save the Gov-ern-or of your State... doub-le quick... maaarch!" Only one man disobeyed this astonishing command! He was dead. With a cheer they sprang forward over the twenty or thirty paces between them and their task. The captain having a shorter distance to go arrived first simultaneously with the enemy.
They were glad to get these to eat. At last they set a day for every-body to fast and pray for food. The gov-ern-or had a little flour left. Nearly all of this was made into bread, and put into the oven to bake. He did not know when he would get any more. Soon after this a poor man came along. His flour was all gone. His bread had all been eaten up. His family were hungry.
