Colonial Story

Thomas Raider- Tavern Owner, Barrel Maker

    ONCE THERE WAS A BRAVE WARRIOR NAMED THOMAS RAIDER. WE STOPPED ON AN ISLAND  ON THE WAY TO MARYLAND. THE KING ASKED ME TO MAKE WEAPONS SUCH AS SWORDS, KNIVES, BOW, ARROWS, AND GUNS. MY GOOD FRIEND MITCHELL THE GREAT SAID,’’ THE PIRATES WILL COME TO ATTACK IN TWO DAYS." EVERY ONE IN THE VILLAGE PREPARED FOR THE INVASION. ONCE EVERY ONE WAS PREPARED THEY DUG HOLES AROUND THE VILLAGE, EXCEPT ME BECAUSE I WAS MAKING WEAPONS OUT OF STEAL, JUST LIKE THE KING ASKED ME TO.WHEN I WAS DONE,  I GAVE EVERY ONE A WEAPON. THE DAY FINALLY CAME  AND THE PIRATES ATTACKED THE VILLAGE. MOST OF THE PIRATES FELL INTO THE HOLES. ONCE THE WAR BEGAN, ALLTHE PIRATES DIED EXCEPT THE CAPTAIN. MY SON, BEN, TOOK HIS SWORD AND STABBED HIS CHEST. ONCE THE WAR WAS OVER, THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE CELEBRATES WITH FOOD, MUSIC, AND GAMES. ONCE THE PARTY WAS OVER, MY FAMILY AND ME SAILED OFF TO MARYLAND.
