6 NARRATOR 4: Our saga begins when one day Bill’s parents heard
about some new land in the West. They heard that there was plenty
of land . . . plenty of land for families with 15 or 20 children.
7 PA: Hey, Ma, I hear that there’s plenty of land in the West for
families with lots of children.
8 MA: You mean families like ours with so many children that we just
can’t remember their names?
9 PA: Yup!
10 MA: Well, why don’t we just up and move out to that there West so
we can build us a house big enough for all these children?
11 PA: Sounds like a grand idea!
12 NARRATOR 1: And so Pa and Ma packed all their children and
all their animals in the back of their wagon and headed out for
the West.
13 NARRATOR 2: However, as soon as the wagon went over the state
line between Arkansas and Texas, it bounced Bill clean out of the
wagon and alongside the road.
saga A saga is a long, detailed story about heroic events.
