Pa reached for the cage to thank Josefina, but the poor old hen was lying on the cage floor. Faith hid her face against Ma. "You must be brave," Ma said softly. "Josefina lived a good long life." "You can be proud of her," Pa added. "She died helping us," said Adam. Faith did not feel better. She cried and cried. Ma hugged her for a long time. The next morning they had a funeral for Josefina. Faith wrapped her in the prettiest scrap of cloth. Adam buried her under a tall pine tree. "I miss her so!" Faith said between sobs. At last Faith dried her eyes and reached for the ragbag. "I will sew a pine tree patch for Josefina," she said. Soon the wagon train found food and water. When they reached California, Faith finished the patches.
Today, I read "The Josefina Story Quilt"
It is I Can Read! and written by Eleanor Coerr.
Josefina is a duck and Faith have her as a pet.
Josefina is very good, so Faith love her very much.
When two robbers crept into camp, Josefina squawked like a watchdog.
After that she died and Faith was very sad.
Faith and her family made a quilt with Josefina's feather.
Every night, Faith felt warm and happy and the Josefina story quilt.
The story of the book is very wonderful.
