2. READ YOUR ASSIGNED PART OF THE LESSON TO THE CLASS:

When we got there, Mama walked up to the house. "We have work! Mr. Sullivan said you can stay there the whole season," he said gasping and pointing to an old garage near the stables. The garage was worn out by the years. It had no windows. That night, by the light of a kerosene lamp, we unpacked and cleaned our new home. Roberto swept away the loose dirt, leaving the hard ground. Papa plugged the holes in the walls with old newspapers and tin can tops. Mama fed my little brothers and sisters. Papa and Roberto then brought in the mattress and placed it on the far corner of the garage. "Mama, you and the little ones sleep on the mattress. Roberto, Panchito, and I will sleep outside under the trees," Papa said.
