Jacob’s Ladder, Part 1

Hi!  Here is the new Thanksgiving story!

.……… “BOOM!”  A huge wave crashed on the hull of the small ship called the Mayflower.  Jonathan shivered.  His family had only been on the Mayflower two weeks and he already was seasick and had a fever.  He pulled out his Jacob’s ladder.  He remembered when he received it.  His father gave it to him right before the King’s soldiers ransacked  their house.  His family had run with the others who were going to Holland.  They boarded a ship to Holland.  There they were not happy though.  They wanted complete religious freedom.  So now they were headed for the New World.  How exciting!  The Adventure has just begun.
