Tuesday/title:Blood on the River, chapter 20/pgs:156-164, min:17

Samuel was jittery with excitement. He was going to the tribe Werwocomoco. That's where Namotack lives and he was their guidance. Only Samuel, Captain Smith and some solders. Smith told Samuel to take his sword and armor but Samuel thought why if both tribes were in peace but he didn't disobey Smith. When he was walking back he saw a man carving a box and he was carving a name. Samuel asked if it was for Ann, he didn't talk, Samuel knew it was for her so he told him that she liked flowers. He said thanks. Well at least Samuel had an idea of who was going to win her heart because the other guys tried to win her by boasting their guns and armor. It was a 8 mile hike until they got there. Chief Powhatan wasn't there, he was at another tribe 20 mile away. When they did Samuel was hungry and the Powhatans gave them a what they expected was a feast. There was a noise in the bushes, Samuel, Smith and the solder hold up their weapons. It was just Pocahontas that came out. She sat between Smith and Samuel and she barley recognized him so she gave him a hug. She said that they were going to like this. It was a performance, three women dressed in costumes had weapons and horns. It was better than the plays in England. After the play Pocahontas took them to a house, there were the actors. They were flirting with the solders, Samuel asked Pocahontas who taught them the words they said to them. She shrugged. They sat down and there Samuel finally ate, there was so much food that he couldn't even eat a fraction of it. When Samuel yawned, Namotack saw him and took him t his house, he told Samuel that he would sleep at his house. Namotack was right about every thing, their houses were so comfy and warm. That was the best day of Samuel's life, he hoped that his mother opened a window from heaven to see that he is an apprentice of a president and he was a commoner.
