Chapter 10

It's summertime, and that means it's the time that everyone visits each other. Whether it's family or friends, neighbors and their families, or people just passing by. When people show up, the men help Pa and the women talk with Ma and help her cook, and they read together. Later when people leave, Mary tells Laura that her hair isn't as pretty as hers, because it's brown and doesn't shine like her golden hair. Laura was pissed basically and slapped Mary. Pa saw the whole thing and whipped Laura and told her to go sit in the corner. Then after that, he asked her to come to him. She did, and she asked him if he likes brown hair more than blonde. He responded with, "I have brown hair, don't I?" That made Laura smile. Then the family made cheese!
One day Pa leaves to go borrow a hoe from a neighbor, and rushes back because he found a honey tree! He grabs the horses and wagon, and puts every possible container in it, including the tubs... just in case. He comes back with all of them full with honey!

Response- I don't know how cheese is made anyway, but to know how it was made in Abe Lincolns time?! Woah.
