Chapter 5

This one starts talking about what they do (or don't do) on Sundays. They get their baths on Saturday night and they can't do anything real exciting, because it's Sunday. One Sunday, Laura started playing with Jack, their bulldog, and Pa almost ridiculed her, but ends up telling her and Mary a story about his father and a pig and a sled. When Pa was a little boy one Sunday he and his brothers left the house so they could sled down the hill just once. When they were sledding a pig walked in front of their path and landed on the sled! The pig squealed so loud that it woke up their father from his nap. Pa and his brothers knew that they were doomed when they went back in the house. After the story they went to bed.
In the morning Pa woke them up and told Laura that it was her birthday and she got a few presents and Pa played the fiddle.

Response- That would be awesome to sled down a huge hill and have a pig get on the sled!! They probably couldn't sit comfortably though for a few weeks, the way Pa talked about how pissed his father was..
