their land. The government had set up a reservation for them in Idaho. Chief Joseph did not want to leave
the land. It was holy ground. It contained the bones of his father and mother.
But, like his father in earlier times, Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to stay and defend the
land. There were too few Indians to win a war against the white men.
And so in June of eighteen seventy-seven, the Nez Perce left their home in the Wallowa Valley. They
left quickly. They were able to take only a small part of what they owned, and just a few cattle and
Appaloosa horses.
When the Indians reached the Snake River, the water was very deep and ran very fast with melted
snow from the mountains. Chief Joseph and his people made boats from sticks and dried animal skins to
cross the river. While the Indians were busy, a group of white men came and stole some of the cattle
waiting at the edge of the river.
The other chiefs demanded that Joseph call a meeting. Two of the chiefs, White Bird and
Toohoolhoolzote, spoke for War, but Joseph held different opinion.
Some of the young men in White Bird's group were very angry. That night, they rode into the
countryside and killed eleven white persons.
During all his years as chief, Joseph had tried to keep the peace. Now he saw there was no hope.
Although he and his young men had taken no part in the killings, he knew that the white men would blame
all of the Indians. Chief Joseph said, "I would have given my own life if I could have undone the killing of
the white men."
Many Nez Perce fled. Chief Joseph remained, because his wife was about to have a baby. After she
gave birth, he and his family joined the others in White Bird Canyon to the south.
Joseph wanted to lead the people to safety in the flat lands of Montana. But the United States army
quickly sent horse soldiers to follow them.
They were extremely tired when they reached White Bird Canyon. An Indian-carrying a white
flag-walked forward to meet them. A soldier shot him.
With that shot, war between the Nez Perce and the United States began.
B. He didn't want to be separated from his parents.
C. He had special feeling for the land where he was living.
D. He didn't want to live with the white men.
B. Chief Joseph and his people were unwilling to cross the deep river.
C. When the Indians reached the Snake River, it was very hard for them to cross it.
D. While the Indians were waiting by the river, a group of white men stole some of the cattle.
B. white men often killed some Indians
C. chief Joseph was afraid of white men

When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance.
But the nervous father persisted. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery. The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.
The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.
“She doesn't take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.
By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears.
The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mother's arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.
She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”
No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.
The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It's hard to see the ears when you're looking into the light.
