to pounce Dennis wound his arm up and threw it with all his might catch ruff ruff uto leaped chasing the bone as it sailed through the air until it went flying over the fence he skidded to a stop a familiar fluffy white head popped up balancing the bone between two perky ears what do you think of my new bow smidge batted her eyelashes looks delicious Otto smiled please toss it down H I'll give it back to you after you help me fix my bike you promis to help me auto huffed I was going to help with your bike but you didn't help me clean up the kitchen after you made cookies earlier this week I had to do it all by myself I'll help next time the kitten promised my bike is really important Dennis overheard when you promise to help a friend you need to follow through he reminded them you don't help just to get something in return but it's not fair Otto protested Dennis gave his pal a pat you know when the pilgrims first came to America they had to work together with the Native Americans it wasn't easy but they figured it out you two should learn about them and take a trip to where their friendship started Plymouth Rock smidge grinned if there are snacks and souvenirs I'm in a plane ride snack stop and one bus trip later Otto and smidge arrived at Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts the friends peered over the railing and looked down at the large Rock in the landing below water from Plymouth Harbor lapped against the sand that's a big rock UT EXA claimed and something is written on it 1620 smidge pointed that must be the year the pilgrims landed here Otto climbed to the top of the railing to get a better view but wobbled as he struggled to balance how do you do this smidge the kitten leaped to Otto's side and curtsied it's an art my friend Otto's Paws suddenly slipped help the trusty bull dog went curp plop into the sea below smidge giggled it's not funny Otto frowned help me up okay swim over to the Rocks smidge instructed she screamed for help as loud as she could just before smidge lost her voice entirely a large turkey walked by and clucked hey what are you doing what's all the noise my friend fell in the water and I need to get him out smidge pointed down to Otto goodness gracious we'd better get him out before he catches a cold smidge gratefully followed the turkey to the Rocks it's nice of you to help a stranger always happy to assist someone in need the turkey replied by the way I'm Miss May I'm smidge and my friend down there there is Otto can you help me pull him out Miss May stretched a feathered Wing toward Otto pleasure to meet you now let me lift you out of there as the perky turkey tugged on his paws Otto's hind foot got stuck the waves swelled smidge whimpered she hated water but jumped in and shimmed between the rocks to free her buddy Otto shook himself dry thank you Miss May and you too smidge I should be more careful this Shore is rough no wonder the pilgrims marked their spot with a giant rock well Miss May offered it's uncertain if Plymouth Rock was their actual Landing site there are many stories since the pilgrims didn't document it the pilgrims first landed at the tip of Cape Cod in November 1620 and they landed here at Plymouth in December that year I love a good mystery Otto howled no matter where the pilgrims landed the rock is a great marker for such an important Journey Miss May's feathers fluffed indeed they took a long treacherous boat ride across the ocean to start a new life of Freedom can you imagine how excited they were when they saw this Shore you know I am named May after their magnificent ship the Mayflower Plymouth Rock would make a great addition to my rock collection smidge tapped her chin thinking Miss may may I take a souvenir with me smidge bounded back and hopped over the railing into the exhibit she reached for the rock with her claws extended wait Miss May called smidge this this is a special rock and though you are not the first person to want a piece of it we have to respect the exhibit that way this rock can be preserved for a long long time okay I understand smidge said disappointed but Miss May added you can find souvenir rocks in our Museum hear that smidge Otto encouraged I bet they'll have snacks too smidge perked up you can also visit the replica Village of Plymouth Colony Miss May said I have a friend who can show you around great Otto barked thanks for all your help Miss May of course anytime the turkey fluttered her Wing in farewell outside the gift shop Otto lifted smid's backpack and groaned smidge what's in here rocks she declared and rock candy too maybe we should have stopped here last auto side need some help a deep bellowing voice offered I'm but you can call me wampo surprised smid and Otto stared up at a large wolf I'm Otto and this is smidge Otto greeted are you here to show us the colony yes follow me wampo invited there's a lot of history here Otto and smidge followed wampo to a grassy area with old wooden houses this is what Plymouth Colony would have looked like wo explained the pilgrims came here with little so they learned to use resources around them to live their first winter here was hard with unexpected illness and death so they made friends with the Native Americans in the area the I'm proud to share a name with a great tribe of people the natives taught the pilgrims how to survive and the pilgrims provided friendship and support in case of enemy threats it looks like they all needed each other smidge noticed baskets and Tools around the village exactly they worked together and shared you may know know the famous celebration between these two groups of people wampo smiled he pointed to a large table set for a meal Thanksgiving Otto chimed in wampo nodded correct they gathered and feasted for 3 Days to thank God for a successful Harvest many years later America's leaders declared this event a national holiday we should have our own Feast right now smidge grabbed her bag and unloaded her snacks onto the table wo please join us you're very kind but it'll be dark soon I need to head back home and you two should do the same wo recommended but there's still so much left to see smidge protested we'll stay a bit longer we'll finish soon Otto agreed thank you wampo enjoy the rest of your time at Plymouth wampo winked waving goodbye smid and Otto wandered further into the village and discovered a beautiful Trail the sky glowed as the sun began to set smidge Otto warned it might get dark soon we should head back time sure flies when you're having fun the kitten agreed they started walking back but soon began running the light was fading quickly hurry Otto urged urged smidge picked up her Pace but then tripped over a branch her heavy backpack brought her smack down to the ground ouch my leg she wailed can you walk Otto tried to stay calm smid shook her head it was nearly dark Otto looked around there was no one in sight he then remembered what his new friends told him that day about helping others I've got you smidge Otto lifted his tiny friend and her bag onto his back smidge clung to his neck thank you Otto that's what friends are for the Bulldog smiled by the time they made it back to the museum it was completely dark smidge winced in pain I won't be riding my bike anytime soon or playing catch Otto added what will we do smidge wondered I've got a few ideas Otto reassured her but first let's get back to Dennis Otto and smidge returned home to Dennis reading in the backyard did you have a successful trip he asked we did Otto replied Plymouth Colony is an amazing example of America's values bravery and hard work and smidge and I learn to help each other too we need one another just like the pilgrims and natives did smidge revealed her Newfound Treasures we even brought you a souvenir thanks Dennis's eyes lit up oh wait those are my candy rocks smidge quickly sorted her Goods here are the real rocks that was my favorite adventure yet Otto barked you say that every time Otto Dennis laughed ruff ruff Auto fixed smid's bike he then scooped her into the basket and gave her a ride around the yard until Dennis called them in for dinner the end wow Plymouth Rock is such a unique and special place that reminds us what bravery and hard work can accomplish if people work together you know there wouldn't be a United States of America or a Thanksgiving for that matter if the pilgrims never took the journey to get here Auto smidge hi you too listen I understand your surprise for me now the feathers the turkey the rocks it was all about
