The Mayflower

In Britain, there was a group of people called Pilgrims. They were different from most people there. They had certain religious beliefs that others did not share. So they wanted to leave Britain and go to the New World. They hired a ship called the Mayflower to take them to America.

They left in September 1620 and landed in America after two months of sailing. They were supposed to go to the Hudson River area. But they landed at a place called Plymouth Rock. It was in modern-day Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Still, the Pilgrims decided to settle there.

The first winter was hard. Many Pilgrims died. But the Native Americans there made peace with them. Their leader was Samoset. He brought Squanto to stay with the Pilgrims. Squanto and other Native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to farm the land properly. That year, the Pilgrims harvested many crops in fall. They had a big three-day festival with the Native Americans. That was the first Thanksgiving.

Every year the Pilgrim colony became stronger and stronger. More colonists came from Britain. So the colony became very successful.

A shy 15-year-old boy was heartbroken to hear that his favorite teacher Kim or Miss K was retiring from her position. So she could do something for Beat Disease—a group that raises money for medical research.

To help Miss K, Waylon decided to take the pig he’d raised and auction（拍卖） it off at the town fair and give away all the money. But after several people heard about his unselfishness, the auction took a very unexpected turn.

The boy had e-mailed his situation to several companies who would be buying—hoping they would bid（出价） higher than the usual price of $3-to-4 per pound. His plan worked. When the bidding kicked off, the price jumped to $11, but then one of the bidders, Dan, had an idea and reached an agreement with his competitors. He won the bidding on the pig. Then he gave it back to be auctioned again. The second winner bought it for $10 a pound, but then he gave it back, too.

Then, a third competitor, Dave Moll, was free to buy—he, too, unexpectedly gave away the pig back for a third time. Dave Moll, who is Waylon’s father’s boss, said, “I hadn’t planned to spend that much money or give the pig back. But that’s what the people ahead of me did, and I felt like it was the right thing to do, so I did.”

The pig was finally bought and sold a fourth time for $5.50 per pound, meaning that Waylon managed to raise $10,070 for his teacher’s charity. “I did not see that happening,” Waylon said. “Usually, they just sell it once!My dream got bigger and bigger every time they said, ‘Give it back.’”
