The Kaufmanns were waiting by the wagon when Mina and Papa returned.

“Now, Eva,” Papa said to Frau Kaufmann, “you and the baby will ride, and we will walk. I think the girls may take turns riding if they get tired. Is that agreeable with you?”

“Very well, Ernst.” She climbed into the wagon holding the baby.

Papa stood beside the oxen holding onto the yoke. “All right, get up,” Papa slapped one of the oxen on the rump.

The wagon creaked as the big wheels began to turn. Papa carried his shotgun over his shoulder, and walked with Herr Kaufmann. Mina and Anna took hands, and began to skip along beside the plodding oxen, swinging their arms and singing, “New Braunfels we are com-ing, New Braunfels we are com-ing.”
