Henry was playing cards with his sister when his father called him inside the house. The whole family was gathered and all were looking very serious, and then his father had announced that they were moving to the new land beyond the river. Henry hadn't liked that one bit, but nonetheless they were all assembled at the gate ready to leave.

Henry was loth to leave his few precious friends behind and he didn't understand why they should leave their beautiful home.
He could see that most of their family's friends were crying.

But, even though he was angry, he was also excited to see what lay beyond his own town,and he also had one of his best friends coming with him, "My neighbor Bolco is coming too', he reminded himself ,'so it should be fun', he thought.

And waving a last goodbye to his friends he sat in the wagon and looked ahead for he knew that his new life lay ahead in the unknown land and not in his old town.
