The Story Of The Stolen Wool By: Jordyn Sullivan [based on Baa Baa Black Sheep]

You wouldn't think a sheet of wool could cause so much problems in the span of 4 days, until you hear the story of Betty Black Sheep. See, Betty Black Sheep has the absolute finest wool. Everyone is asking for it so they can sell it themselves or sew something out of it. This is where everything went wrong. Somebody stole the wool! All three bags full! It's springtime of 2006 a sunny day where you feel the wind blow into your face, 12:00 pm. Morey, the Master, better known as Betty's owner, was enjoying a roast beef sandwich for lunch with Beavus, the Boy that lived down the lane on the porch. They were conversing over how much they will sell Betty's coal black wool for this spring. At the same time,

Perhaps you could just make a smaller blanket."
Day 2: Today's the day everyone retrieves their wool, in the story of Betty Black Sheep. Beavus was riding his bike down the lane to Morey and Dixie's farm, excited as could be. He pulled into the gravel driveway as fast as his scrawny legs would push him. Dropping his bike into the grass, Beavus ran up to the screen door on the front porch and knocked his fist as rapid as his heart beat. Walking angrily up to the door to answer Beavus, Morey furiously started up a conversation he didn't want to have. "What are you doing here so early Beavus!?" I said we can claim the wool at lunchtime. It's 6 AM! It's freezing and dark outside!" "Sorry sir, I really am. I really need to ask for a favor though, Morey. It's important." Beavus said like a sentence spitting sorry

    At 5:30 AM, the young, naive, Jenny Drpich is all dressed up finally ready to leave her home and head to her job for the first time. On her way, she grabbed a copy of West Australian newspaper, a leftover of cinnamon bun from last night and a freshly brewed cup of Long Black Arabica. The placidness of her home is unwieldy; the constant sound of the dead air seems remind her of pure elation of her little farmhouse in upper Swan Valley.

    Popular histories often marginalize First Nations women when discussing the fur trade. However, these women were quite significant and contributed a great deal to the vast and rapid development of colonial fur trading, playing a unique but important role in fur trade. Also, the fur trade itself changed the culture of First Nations women permanently and altered their role in their society. European fur traders first came to Canada early in the 16th century, and by the 19th century their industry was in full swing, as in 1821, the Hudson Bay Company successfully won and merged with its biggest rival—Northwest Company (Carlos and Lewis). While Europeans at first simply came to North America to trade for furs, or hunt them themselves, and returned…

    The Landlord had indeed remained fully clothed during his ravaging of Harper; which was an indicator of his own urgency and need. As sore as she must be from his ministrations, and the bruises and welts that adorned her skin, his muscles, too, ached, and the bath would soothe both, before they retired to sleep on white, satin sheets. Together. It would be the first occasion in over a year that the man would wake up with the sunlight filtering through the windows, and the warmth of a woman's body beside him.
