If I had been alive in 1848, I would have rushed from the east on the trail to the west.

I brought two lambs, a boy and a girl.  They were named Albert and Gertrude.  I also brought a bunch of seeds.  I rode an ox-led wagon with only Albert and Gertrude to keep me company.

When I got there, I made a barn for my sheep.  (They had grown by now.)  My sheep had twin sheep.  It was time to shear my sheep.  I used the wool to make shirts for the miners.  I grew vegetables and started a market called, “VEGETABLES TO MAKE YOU STRONG.”  I have learned a big secret!  I got more money than the people that panned for gold!

My two ox were named Bob and George.  They helped me hoe my vegetables.  By the way, my two twin sheep were named Wilbur and Orville.

1848 was a good year for me.
