Mother's Plan

Jack told Eliza about Milky White. “ My father was an explorer, ” he said. “ He found treasure and gold on his trips. ” Eliza’s eyes lit up. “ Treasure?”

Jack nodded and told Eliza about the treasure and gold. " But a mean ogre stole everything from us. And then my father died, " he said. " Now we're poor. "

“ My family is poor too, ” Eliza said. “ My parents died several years ago. So I take care of my brothers and sisters. ”

" Oh, " Jack said. " That sounds hard. " Eliza nodded. " You don't have any money. But you still have your mother. And that's a treasure. "

Jack nodded. “ You’re right. I’ll try to remember that. ” Soon Jack started walking again.
