Do you know anything about the famous American president Abraham Lincoln? When Lincoln was just a boy, he had to help his father look after their farm. It was hard work and there weren’t any interesting things for him to do. Lincoln wanted to go to school, but there was no school there. He was sad most of the time.

Mrs. Lincoln loved the boy very much. She tried her best to make Lincoln happy. One early morning, she got up early and went to the town. That was a long way and it took her a long time to get to the town. She bought something there and started back. And it was late in the evening when she got home.

The next morning, Mrs. Lincoln said to Lincoln, “ Today is your birthday. We are going to have a party.” She put some food on the table and brought out a present. “A book!” Lincoln cried. It was an old book, but he liked it. A smile came to his face. He looked up at Mrs. Lincoln and said, “Thank you,mom.”
