birthday,but it didn t feel like a party.It was 1933,four years after the start of the Great Depression.The Tillerman family was struggling to survive on their small farm.Mr.Tillerman said,“We can t keep living like this.I figure if we don t do something soon,we ll have to move west to look for something better.”The next morning,the family saw a parade of automobiles pass by their farm.The cars and trucks were filled with boxes,and suitcases were tied to the roofs of the cars.Ruth waved,but no one waved back.America and the world were in chaos after the stock market crash of October 1929.Many farmers in the Midwest could not repay their loans.They left their farms and moved west to California.CHAPTER 1 A TOUGH DECISION2Program:CR 14Component:LRG5U5W2-E PDFVendor:Learning

ached with worry.He said,“Mrs.Norris wants Ruth and me to help out on her farm after school.She ll give us 10 cents a week.”Mrs.TillermanMr.TillermanRuthRitchieProgram:CR 14Component:LRG5U5W2-E

straight,red hair,freckles,and blue eyes.Ritchie had brown hair and brown eyes.Mr.Tillerman thought,“It s not just their features that are different.Ritchie is responsible and serious,while Ruth is impulsive and fiery.”He said,“Mrs.Norris is being kind.I appreciate the sympathy,but we can t accept her charity.She can t afford to pay you.”“I can sell my trumpet,”Ritchie offered.Ruth added,“I can sell Bridget.”Bridget was Ruth s horse.Bridget was slow and stubborn,but Ruth loved her.Mrs.Tillerman said,“You ll do no such thing.Things will get better soon,I guarantee.You kids get a lot of pleasure from riding Bridget and playing the trumpet.All of us need to do things that we enjoy during difficult times.”She continued,“I enjoy singing.And your daddy enjoys sketching.He can draw a face

to make sketches of people?You can ask them to pay what they can afford.”Ruth s father thought about Ruth s idea seriously.“It s a clever idea.I know you are trying to be supportive,Ruthie.But no one around here can afford to buy something they don t need.”Ritchie broke in.“I read in a magazine that there are thousands of rich people in Chicago.The magazine said the ladies are dripping with diamonds!Surely they d buy your sketches,Daddy.”Mr.Tillerman replied,“What about the farm?Who ll do all the hard work if I m in Chicago?”Ritchie looked glum.He did his chores,but he preferred to cook or practice his trumpet.It was Ruth who loved farm work.overallssketch5Program:CR 14Component:LRG5U5W2-E PDFVendor:Learning MediaLevel:50001_009_CR14_LR_G5_U5W2L50_E_119139.indd

three of us can handle the farm work.”Mr.Tillerman protested,“But where will I stay?”Mrs.Tillerman replied,“You can stay with my sister.You can pay rent to help her family.”Mr.Tillerman was still not sure.“Chicago is very far away,Ma.What if something happened on the farm?”She smiled.“We can get help from our neighbors.The kids are almost grown up now,too.We ll be fine.”Ruth said tearfully,“We ll

the pine trees.She dressed quickly and went to the kitchen.Ritchie was making pancakes.Ruth thought,“Thank goodness Ritchie likes to cook!”She burned whatever she tried to cook.Ruth went outside and picked up the milking pail.She headed for the field where their dairy cow,Doris,waited.Ritchie called Ma when Ruth returned.“Ma is so thin.She looks tired,”Ruth thought when her mother came into the dining room.Obviously,Ritchie noticed too because he piled Ma s plate high with pancakes.The family sat at their usual places at the table.Dad s place at the table was vacant.Where is a relative

build up the woodpile for winter.Ruthie,can you handle the big saw by yourself?I need Ritchie to help me with the roof.”“I m no weakling,Ma,”said Ruth.“I can do it.”Mrs.Tillerman looked at her children.Ritchie s food was neatly assembled on his plate.He ate slowly and carefully.Ruth s plate was messy,and she ate quickly,as if she hadn t eaten for a month.Ritchie was always calm.Ruth had a quick temper.Mrs.Tillerman smiled tiredly.“I m not assuming that you re weak,Ruthie.I m proud of you for working so hard.Ritchie,we need to make new shingles for the roof,and I nominate you for that

outdoors.She knew the names of the flowers growing in the woods near their farm.She was learning the names of the different birds,too.Ruth took an apple to Bridget,her horse.She picked up the saw from the barn,and went to the back field.Ruth s father had cut down some beech trees before he left for Chicago.The trees were set in a pile.Ruth began sawing a log,holding the saw with both hands.logwoodssawProgram:CR 14Component:LRG5U5W2-E PDFVendor:Learning MediaLevel:509001_009_CR14_LR_G5_U5W2L50_E_119139.indd 9001_009_CR14_LR_G5_U5W2L50_E_119139.indd 913/03/12 9:31 AM13/03/12 9:31 AM An hour later,Ruth had cut a pile of logs.She felt hot,and her hands hurt.She decided to go to the stream in the woods.She could wash her face and take a rest.At the stream,Ruth bent down and scooped up the icy water in her hands.Suddenly,she heard a strange noise.It sounded like a rattle.Ruth looked up.She saw a rattlesnake on the other side of the stream!The snake s long body was coiled,and it was flicking its tongue.Ritchie heard Ruth scream.He ran toward the sound.“Ruthie!Ruthie!”When Ritchie found Ruth,she was shaking with fear.The rattlesnake was about 6 feet away from Ruth.Every few seconds,the snake s tail rattled.Ritchie put his hands on Ruth s shoulders.He whispered to her,“Stay very calm.Stand up.Step back slowly.Rattlesnakes attack when they feel threatened.She s probably protecting her eggs.Lean against me.You ll be fine.”tonguerattlesnake10Program:CR 14Component:LRG5U5W2-EPDFVendor:Learning MediaLevel:50010_016_CR14_LR_G5_U5W2L50_E_119139.indd

house.“Gosh,Ritchie,how d you know what to do?”Ruth asked when they reached the kitchen.Ritchie grinned.“I read about rattlesnakes in Daddy s almanac.When rattlesnakes are ready to strike,they open their jaws and curve their bodies.That rattlesnake was coiled up.It was just telling you to stay away.”“You saved me,”Ruth said.Mrs.Tillerman frowned when the twins told her the story at supper.“I

finally coming home.Ritchie and his mother had prepared a feast.They couldn t get a turkey,but they roasted a chicken.Ritchie created a new potato dish,and his mother made her famous apple pie.The bus from Chicago arrived in the late morning.It made a hissing sound as it stopped.Mr.Tillerman stepped down from the bus.He was holding a small suitcase and a big canvas bag.Mrs.Tillerman,Ruth,and Ritchie threw their arms around him.They all hugged tightly.The Tillermans were together again at last!After a long moment,the family piled into the truck and headed for the farm.CHAPTER 3 TOGETHER
