The following part of the

. . . Papa parked the car
out in front and left the motor running. "Listo," he
yelled. Without saying a word, Roberto and I began to
carry the boxes out to the car. Roberto carried the two
bit boxes and I carried the two smaller ones. Pap then
threw the mattress on top of the car roof and tied it
with ropes to the front and rear bumpers.

The following part of the
lesson to the class:
I held the front door open
as Mama carefully carried out her pot by both handles,
making sure not to spill the cooked beans. When she got
to the car, Papa reached out to help her with it. Roberto
opened the rear car door and Papa gently placed it on the
floor behind the front seat. All of us climbed in. Papa
sighed, wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeve,
and said wearily: "Es todo."

The following part of the
lesson to the class:
As we drove away, I felt a
lump in my throat. I turned around and looked at our
little shack for the last time. At sunset we drove into a
labor camp near Fresno. Since Papa did not speak English,
Mama asked the camp foreman if he needed anymore workers.
"We don't need no more," said the foreman, scratching his
head. "Check with Sullivan down the road. Can't miss him.
He lives in a big house with a fence around
it."

The following part of the
lesson to the class:
When we got there, Mama
walked up to the house. "We have work! Mr. Sullivan said
you can stay there the whole season," he said gasping and
pointing an old garage near the stables. The garage was
worn out by the years. It had no widdows. That night, by
the light of a kerosene lamp, we unpacked and cleaned our
new home. Roberto swept away the loose dirt, leaving the
hard ground. Papa plugged the holes in the walls with old
newspapers and tin can tops. Mama fed my little brothers
and sisters. Papa and Roberto then brought in the
mattress and placed it in the far corner of the garage.
Mama, you and the little ones sleep on the mattress.
Roberto, Panchito, and I will sleep outside under the
trees," Papa said.
