Revolutionary War on Wednesday
By: Mary Pope Osborne
Annie came to Jack’s Bedroom and said they needed to go to the tree house. When they got there they saw a book called The Revolutionary War. So they said the magic words “I want to go there”. After the tree house stopped spinning they saw some soldiers so they went and hid behind a rock but one of the soldiers heard them so they ask Jack and Annie where they were from and what were they doing here. Jack said that they are from Frog Creek. One of the soldiers said that he was from Frog Creek to so he gave Jack a letter to give to his family when they got back to Frog Creek. Then when the soldiers were getting on the boats Annie saw George Washington so they ran down to the river and hopped in the same boat as George Washington. After they were already down the river George Washington saw them and ask them why they were here. Neither of them said anything so George Washington said that they should just stay on the boat and ride back when they go get more soldiers. The reason that the soldiers were coming down the river was because they were planning a surprise attack on the British on Christmas. After the fight Jack and Annie went home.
