(Historical Fiction)
Anna needed a new coat, but it was
during the war and all supplies were being sent out. Her mother told her she would get her a coat after the war
ended-the war had ended but her mother couldn’t afford to buy a coat for Anna. Her mother took her to a farmer and
asked for the wool of a sheep in place of a gold watch, he agreed and come
spring Anna had wool. They later
went to the old lady with a spinning wheel and offered a lamp to have her turn
the wool into thread. She told
them to come back when the cherries were ripe so they could dye the wool
red. They then took the yarn to a weaver
to be woven into cloth, offering a garnet necklace. They took the cloth to the
tailor who was given a teapot to create Anna’s coat. When it was finished they invited everyone who helped create
the coat to eat a Christmas cake they made. Everyone was very happy!
