Today we had to cross our first river, and it was the Kansas river. We crossed but some horrible things happened to us! Our plan was to drive the wagons across the river, but our first wagon's two axles broke! Now our wheels won't work! There was a man who offered for us to pay him, and then we would also have to pay him to take our wagons across the river. At least our wagons were fine when the man put them on a ferry to cross the river. It cost $100 but he wasn't very willing to negotiate. He was going to give us 50% of, and then we tried negotiating with him and he said that he would only give us 25% off! It was unbelievable! We carried the animals across the river, and someone dropped a pig and it went downstream! Now we only have 7 pigs! We have less food and now someone gets free bacon! At least we crossed the river safely, and everything else is okay. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
