Once upon a time, a little girl named Laura lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin in a little house made of logs.
It was snowy Sunday and Laura was tired of all the strict rules she had to follow on Sundays. All day she had to sit still and be quiet. She could not play any games or even play with her dog, Jack.





Later that evening, she could not stand it any longer. She began playing with Jack and she became very noisy. Pa told her to sit down and be quiet, and Laura began to cry.


When Pa noticed her sadness, he decided it was time for an old story to teach Laura about what life used to be like. Pa pulled Laura to the side and said "I'm going to tell you a story about when Grandpa was a boy."



"When your Grandpa was a boy, rules on Sunday were much more strict. All day Sunday, and even the night before, no one could joke, laugh or even smile.

"Well one winter, Grandpa and his brothers had been working hard on a sled. They finally finished it Saturday night right before the sun went down."



"When Sunday morning came around, all they could think about was trying out their new sled. The boys waited all day until their father fell asleep, and they quietly snuck out of the house."




"When the boys reached the sled, they planned to only go down the hill once to make sure they could sneak back in before they were missed. As the boys pushed off, the sled started flying down the hill, but the boys knew they must not make a sound."
