CHAPTER FIVE

You stick it out by yourself, labouring away.

It’s a hard life; sometimes you can’t help but feel a little jealous of your brothers on their farms. Oh well, you’ve made your choices and you stand by them. At least you have some good friends to see you through.

Everyone is eager to share their opinion about Confederation. You’d like to know how it all affects you and your family. It sounds very grand, but do the delegates really know what life is like for people like you?

You receive an invitation to a celebratory party, but you’re too busy to go. Tomorrow’s another work day, and you’ll be seeing your friends bright and early.
