Meeting Red      

     Today, the most amazing thing happened. It started when a large old woman came to the front of my kitchen door, asking for some of my baking. I welcomed her into the house, and she asked me for some butter for her to purchase. Before I went to get the butter, I served her a meal of hot potatoes and eggs. But what had really confused me was why this old lady had worn military boots. 

     I was about to leave to get the butter, when the lady told me in a low smooth voice to not be afraid. She also called me “Laura Ingersoll”, which meant she had known me before I was married. Then, the lady took off the heavy grey wig, and it was a man. He explained that he was Red! I can't believe it! I have seen Red again! So, I told him about my moving to Queenston, and how my family is now. 

     Then, after giving him his butter, he left, and I am quite sure I will never see him again. But, meeting Red was such a great surprise for me, because I have forgotten about him for a long time, and I was pretty sure I would never encounter him again. 

All because of some butter, I get to meet Red again!
