YOU GETTING TIRED?

NICE TIRED.

YEAH. IT'S KIND OF HOT.

OH, MANLY, I JUST LOVE IT.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE BIGGEST ORCHARD IN THE WHOLE COUNTY.

WE BETTER. EVERY CENT WE'VE GOT IS TIED UP IN IT.

YOU'RE NOT SORRY, ARE YOU?

HECK, NO. I MEAN, IF EVERYTHING WORKS OUT LIKE YOU SAID.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

WITH THE MONEY WE MAKE OFF THIS ORCHARD,

WE'LL BE ABLE TO BUY 100 ACRES

FOR THE BEEF CATTLE YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED.

AND MAYBE THERE'LL BE MORE ACRES

FOR MORE WHEAT.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY DREAM ABOUT?

USED TO BE ME.

OH, SWEETHEART, IT STILL IS.

THE BABY AND ALL THE OTHER BABIES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

AND ALL THEIR BABIES AND ALL THE THINGS

THAT WE'LL BE LEAVING THEM,

BUT FOR WORKING THIS PLACE,

A STEAM TRACTOR.

JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS

WILL DO THE WORK OF 16 HORSES,

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO FEED IT THROUGH THE WINTER.

JUST IMAGINE.

IT'S ALL STARTING WITH THIS ORCHARD.

[WAGON APPROACHING]

HO!

-HI, PA. -HOW YOU TWO DOING?

WELL, YOU SURE LOOK HAPPY.

GOOD NEWS GENERALLY HAS THAT EFFECT ON ME.

WHAT?

WE'VE BEEN OFFERED $300 TO HAUL

SOME MINING EQUIPMENT.

$300?

THAT'S RIGHT.

WHERE'S IT BEING HAULED TO? CALIFORNIA?

WELL, YOU'RE CLOSE. NORTHERN ARIZONA.

IT'S GOING TO COME IN BY RAIL TO SLEEPY EYE ON WEDNESDAY.

WE'RE SUPPOSED TO PICK IT UP RIGHT AWAY.

WEDNESDAY? THAT'S JUST A COUPLE DAYS FROM NOW.

I DON'T KNOW. I'D BE GONE A COUPLE OF MONTHS.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT $150 APIECE.

YEAH. I KNOW IT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD DO IT.

WELL, WE HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED PLANTING THE ORCHARD YET.

LOOK, ALBERT AND I CAN GIVE YOU A HAND WITH THAT.

SHOULDN'T TAKE MORE THAN A COUPLE OF DAYS.

WELL, THAT'D MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

YOU WOULDN'T MIND MY BEING GONE FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS?

OF COURSE I'D MIND,

BUT YOU SAID YOURSELF WE NEED THE MONEY.

I'LL BE ALL RIGHT. THE BABY ISN'T DUE FOR 4 MORE MONTHS.

I HOPE YOUR MA'S THAT UNDERSTANDING.

I HAVEN'T TOLD HER YET.

WHAT DO YOU SAY, ALMANZO?

WELL, CAN I THINK ABOUT IT?

I'VE ALREADY ACCEPTED THE DEAL.

YOU DID?

IT WAS EITHER THAT OR LOSE IT.

THEN I GUESS WE'RE HEADED FOR ARIZONA.

WELL, A COUPLE SPARES APIECE OUGHT TO DO IT.

I WISH WE HAD ANOTHER ONE. IT'S A LONG TRIP.

YOU REMEMBER THE AXLE GREASE?

YEAH. IT'S IN THE TOOLBOX.

ALL RIGHT. WE'D BEST GET STARTED.

I DON'T WANT TO MISS THE TRAIN.

HALF-PINT, YOU REMEMBER,

ANYTIME YOU WANT TO STAY WITH YOUR MA,

YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME.

I WILL, PA.

THANKS FOR THE HELP WITH THE ORCHARD. ALBERT, TOO.

OUR PLEASURE. MWAH!

SEE YOU IN TWO MONTHS.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

YOU BE CAREFUL.

I WILL.

I LOVE YOU, BETH.

I LOVE YOU.

HERE WE GO, PARTNER.

HOO-HOO! GOOD MORNING, MRS. FOSTER.

OH, GOOD MORNING, HARRIET.

OH, MY HEAVENS. IT IS GETTING SO HOT!

OH, HOT ENOUGH TO BAKE THE BRAINS OUT OF A LIZARD!

HA HA HA!

OH, MY HEAVENS, YOU ARE SOMETHING.

OH, HARRIET, WOULD YOU GIVE THIS TO LAURA?

SHE'S BEEN IN EVERY DAY THIS WEEK, HOPING FOR WORD FROM ALMANZO.

OH, YES!

-THANK YOU, HARRIET. -OF COURSE, YES.

GOOD MORNING, MRS. OLESON.

WELL, GOOD MORNING!

LAURA, HERE. I HAVE A CARD FOR YOU.

WONDERFUL!

IT'S JUST REMARKABLE,

THE SPEED OF THE MAIL THESE DAYS--

IT'S ALL THE WAY FROM COLORADO TO WALNUT GROVE

IN JUST 10 DAYS!

THEY'RE MAKING VERY GOOD TIME, TOO.

OF COURSE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO

PUT UP WITH THIS HEAT, I GUESS.

-MRS. OLESON. -UH-HUH?

YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO READ MY MAIL,

BUT I'D LIKE A CHANCE TO READ IT FIRST.

SNIPPET.

GOOD MORNING, LAURA.

GOOD MORNING, DOC.

HOW'S THE HEALTH OF WALNUT GROVE?

WELL, OUTSIDE OF A SUNSTROKE

AND A COUPLE OF CASES OF HEAT EXHAUSTION,

MOST PEOPLE ARE SENSIBLE,

KEEPING COOL AS BEST THEY CAN.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

FINE.

DOC, COULD YOU TELL ME,

HOW LONG CAN YOUNG TREES LIVE ONCE THEIR ROOTS DRY OUT?

WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE OUT OF MY LINE,

BUT AS SOON AS THE LEAVES START WILTING,

THEY GO PRETTY FAST.

THANKS.

IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU CAME IN FOR A CHECKUP, YOUNG LADY.

I WILL, NEXT WEEK. BYE-BYE.

BYE.

Harriet: NELS, HURRY UP.

YES, DEAR.

-NELS! -I'M COMING!

OHH...

DO YOU REMEMBER MY COUSIN OPAL FROM RICHMOND, VIRGINIA?

VAGUELY.

YEAH. WELL, SHE'S COMPLAINING ABOUT--

AH!

ABOUT RAIN FOR TWO WEEKS.

OOH!

AH! AH!

AHH...OHH...

HA HA! OH, THAT'S HEAVENLY.

ANYTHING ELSE?

OH, YES.

OOH. MORE ICE.

AT LEAST CHARLES AND ALMANZO

DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS HEAT.

THAT'S TRUE.

A LOT OF FOLKS ARE STARTING TO WORRY ABOUT THEIR CROPS.

JAMES AND ALBERT ARE SPENDING

ALL THEIR SPARE TIME WATERING THE FIELDS.

I KNOW.

OUR ORCHARD'S STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF DRYING OUT.

LAURA, DON'T YOU DO TOO MUCH.

IN YOUR CONDITION--

MA...

I WAS THE ONE WHO TALKED ALMANZO

INTO BUYING ALL THOSE TREES.

NOW, I'M NOT GOING TO LET HIM COME HOME TO A DRIED-OUT...

LAURA, YOUR HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT.

DON'T WORRY. I'M JUST GOING TO DO THE BEST THAT I CAN.

I HAVE TO GO. THANKS FOR THE LEMONADE, MA.

HE'S NOT GOING TO COME HOME TO A DEAD ORCHARD.

UGH...

WITHOUT OUR REVOLUTIONARY WAR HEROES,

WE MIGHT STILL BE A COLONY OF ENGLAND.

NOW, HERE'S SOMETHING INTERESTING TO THINK ABOUT.

DO MEN BECOME HEROES BECAUSE OF HISTORY,

OR DO THEY CREATE THE EVENTS THAT MAKE THEM HEROES?

NANCY?

IT'S EVENTS.

WITHOUT THE TEA TAX, THERE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A BOSTON TEA PARTY,

AND THAT STARTED THE WAR.

VERY GOOD, NANCY. WILLIE?

IT'S MEN WHO MAKE HISTORY.

WITHOUT THE MIDNIGHT RIDE OF PAUL REVERE

TO WARN THE COLONISTS THAT THE BRITISH WERE COMING,

THEY WOULD HAVE CAPTURED JOHN HANCOCK, SAM ADAMS, AND THE GUNPOWDER,

AND THAT'S WHY IT'S THE HEROES THAT MAKE HISTORY HAPPEN.

VERY GOOD, WILLIE! YOU MAY SIT DOWN.

CASSANDRA, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK IT'S TOO HOT, AND I'M THIRSTY.

MAY I PLEASE BE EXCUSED TO GET A DRINK OF WATER?

Girl: ME, TOO! PLEASE?

WE'LL TAKE A 10-MINUTE RECESS.

WILLIE, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOU FOR A MINUTE, PLEASE.

YOU DID REALLY WELL THIS MORNING.

I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND OUT YOU HAD

SUCH AN INTEREST IN HISTORY.

WELL, I CAN BELIEVE IN ALL THOSE HEROES

LIKE WASHINGTON, LEWIS AND CLARK, AND BUFFALO BILL.

I MEAN, THEY DID BIG THINGS, AND...

AND?

WELL, AND I WISH I COULD BE LIKE THEM.

DON'T YOU THINK YOU CAN?

IN WALNUT GROVE? THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO DISCOVER.

NO MORE INDIANS TO FIGHT OR BUFFALO TO HUNT...

EXCEPT IN ARIZONA.

WILLIE, ARIZONA ISN'T LIKE THAT ANYMORE.

REMEMBER, I WAS JUST THERE.

BUT I'LL BET YOU WEREN'T IN APACHE COUNTRY.

WELL, NO, I WASN'T--

I WANT TO BE LIKE BRONCO BILLY.

HE'S MY HERO.

BUT WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME

IS I'M GOING TO WIND UP RUNNING THE MERCANTILE,

WEARING AN APRON INSTEAD OF A SIX-GUN.

WILLIE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR CHANCE

TO GO OUT IN THE WORLD,

AND IT WILL COME A LOT FASTER IF YOU EDUCATE YOURSELF.

THE REAL HEROES ARE THE MEN WHO ARE EDUCATED,

LIKE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN...

AND LEWIS AND CLARK.

I'LL DO BETTER. I PROMISE.

I KNOW YOU WILL.

NOW GIVE ME THIS BOOK,

AND YOU GO OUTSIDE AND GET YOURSELF A DRINK OF WATER.

Man: SORRY. I CAN'T MAKE THE PAYMENT, NELS.

SOON AS I GET SOME MONEY COMING IN, I'LL PAY YOU.

I UNDERSTAND, JOHN.

I SURE APPRECIATE IT, NELS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S THE THIRD ONE TODAY THAT'S ASKED FOR CREDIT.

THIS DROUGHT. IF THE CROPS FAIL,

THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF FOLKS

WHO DON'T PAY THEIR BILLS.

OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES, NELS, DON'T GIVE THEM CREDIT!

HARRIET, THEY'RE OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR FRIENDS.

OH...

OH, YOU'RE SUCH A SOFT...

ALL RIGHT. YOU'VE GOT TO CHARGE THEM INTEREST THEN,

AND I MEAN IT!

WILLIE, STAND BEHIND MY DESK

AND LOOK OUT AT THE CLASSROOM.

NOW, IMAGINE YOU'RE THE TEACHER,

AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO MAKE SURE

THAT ALL THOSE CHILDREN YOU'RE BEING PAID TO TEACH

ARE LEARNING HOW TO READ AND WRITE AND FIGURE NUMBERS.

NOW, IMAGINE THOSE SAME CHILDREN 5, 10 YEARS LATER.

IF YOU DON'T TEACH THEM WELL,

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME IN LIFE.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YES, MA'AM.

THAT'S WHY I SENT YOU TO THE CORNER,

FOR READING THIS AGAIN INSTEAD OF DOING YOUR MATH.

YOU'RE NOT HELPING ME DO MY JOB.

BUT IT'S EXCITING, AND IT'S PART OF HISTORY.

I KNOW IT'S EXCITING,

AND IT'S ALL RIGHT TO READ ONCE YOUR SCHOOLWORK'S DONE,

BUT YOU SHOULD ALSO BE READING BOOKS OF SUBSTANCE.

THESE STORIES ARE FICTION, DREAMED UP BY WRITERS.

BUT APACHES ARE MURDERING

AND SCALPING PEOPLE ALL THE TIME,

AND THAT'S NOT FICTION.

WILL YOU STOP SAYING THAT?

I HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITHOUT YOU CONSTANTLY REMINDING ME

THAT MY HUSBAND AND FATHER COULD BE MASSACRED AT ANY MOMENT.

I'M SORRY. IT'S THE WEATHER.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?

NO. THANKS FOR ASKING.

YOU CAN LEAVE.

WILLIE!

WHAT...

"THEN MORNING CLOUD, A DUSKY SIOUX MAIDEN

"IN THE FULL BLOOM OF WOMANHOOD

"BEGAN HER DANCE OF FUTIL...OF FERTILITY.

"EVEN IN BUCKSKIN, I COULD SEE

"THE GRACEFUL SHAPE OF HER...

LOINS."

WILLIE! I AM SHOCKED AT YOU.

WHY, THIS IS TRASH.

THIS KIND OF TRASH WILL CORRUPT YOUR MIND.

BUT, MA, IT'S ONLY THE HISTORY OF THE WEST!

OH! THAT'S HISTORY?

WHAT'S THE COMMOTION?

OH! YOUR SON!

NO WONDER YOUR SON IS DOING SO POORLY IN SCHOOL,

READING THIS KIND OF TRASH.

NELS, THAT BOY'S A DREAMER.

IT'S TIME THAT YOU TAUGHT HIM

THE REALITIES OF LIFE.

THAT WILL HAPPEN SOON ENOUGH.

LET HIM DREAM FOR A WHILE.

YOU SHOULD READ THIS.

DON'T MIND IF I DO.

AH! OH, LORD, HELP ME.

AHH.

OHH, HOW'S MY LITTLE SWEETHEART?

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'RE READING.

OH, "LITTLE WOMEN!" HA HA!

OH, I'M SO GLAD THAT SOMEBODY IN THIS HOUSE APPRECIATES THE CLASSICS.

IT'S A WONDERFUL STORY.

DID YOU EVER READ IT, MOTHER?

OH, YES, AND IT IS A WONDERFUL STORY. HA HA HA!

OH, SWEETHEART, DON'T YOU READ TOO LONG, NOW.

ALL RIGHT? YOU GET SOME SLEEP.

I WON'T, MOTHER.

ALL RIGHT, DARLING. GOOD NIGHT.

GOOD NIGHT.

"UNHAND ME, SHE DEMANDED.

"HE PAID NO HEED AND CLUTCHED AT HER BODICE.

"SHE PROTESTED,

YOU, SIR, ARE A CAD!"

OH, NO, I'M LATE!

AND BESIDES HUNTING BUFFALO

TO FEED THE RAILROAD CREWS,

COLONEL CODY WAS ALSO A CHIEF SCOUT FOR THE 5th CAVALRY,

AND IT WAS ONLY A FEW YEARS BACK

WHEN HE FOUGHT IN THE BATTLE OF SUMMIT SPRINGS

AGAINST A TRIBE OF BLOODTHIRSTY CHEYENNE

WHO WERE AFTER REVENGE.

IT SEEMS THAT THE COLORADO MILITIA

HAD MASSACRED MOST OF THEIR WOMEN AND CHILDREN

ONLY A YEAR BEFORE AT SAM CREEK.

Willie: HEY, ALBERT, JAMES.

WANT TO PLAY SOME BALL?

NO. I GOT TO WATER THE CROPS.

BESIDES, IT'S TOO HOT.

OK.

LAURA, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR A WHILE, SO I THOUGHT--

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR HANDS?

NOTHING. IT'S JUST--

LET ME SEE.

NOTHING? JUST SHORT OF BEING RAW.

HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING IN THE ORCHARD THAT HARD?

IT'S ALL RIGHT. I'LL WEAR GLOVES FROM NOW ON.

GLOVES MAY PROTECT YOUR HANDS.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH.

LOOK AT YOU.

I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU SO EXHAUSTED.

IT'S JUST THE HEAT, MA.

WELL, I CAN SEE I'M NOT GOING TO SLOW YOU DOWN ANY.

AT LEAST LET ME SEND ALBERT AND JAMES OVER TO HELP YOU.

MA, I'M NO SPECIAL CASE.

EVERYBODY WITH CROPS IS--

BEING PREGNANT MAKES YOU A SPECIAL CASE.

MA, WHEN YOU WERE PREGNANT WITH GRACE,

YOU WORKED IN THE FIELDS JUST AS HARD AS ANYBODY ELSE.

NOW, YOU NEED ALBERT AND JAMES.

I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THEM AWAY FROM YOU.

I WILL SLOW DOWN. I PROMISE.

ALL RIGHT?

BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR PA...

I HAVE TO GO.

BYE, MA.

LAURA...

GOD, IT'S DRY.

UNH!

EMILY.

GOOD MORNING, MRS. FOSTER.

GOOD MORNING, LAURA.

DO YOU HAVE ANY MAIL FOR ME?

WHY, YES. ONE FROM ALMANZO.

OH...

LAURA, ARE YOU SICK?

NO.

YOU DON'T LOOK WELL, NOT WELL AT ALL.

I'M JUST A LITTLE TIRED.

OH.

OH, MY. PA AND MANLY WERE DELAYED BY HEAVY RAINS

IN THE MOUNTAINS.

WOULDN'T YOU KNOW?

THEY GOT STUCK IN THE MUD,

AND A BAND OF NAVAJO INDIANS

HELPED PULL THEM OUT.

THEY WOULDN'T TAKE THE MONEY,

BUT THEY DID ACCEPT A SIDE OF BACON.

-WAIT TILL I TELL WILLIE THAT. -WILLIE?

IT'S JUST SOMETHING WE'RE STUDYING IN SCHOOL, MRS. FOSTER.

-OH. -THANKS.

YOU'RE WELCOME, LAURA.

-BYE-BYE. -BYE.

Laura: THERE ARE 15 AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.

WE'RE GOING TO LEARN ABOUT EACH OF THEM

AND WHAT THEY MEAN ONE BY ONE.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT PLACES RESTRICTIONS ON THE POWERS OF CONGRESS

AND READS...

"CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAWS

"RESPECTING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION

"OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF

"OR ABRIDGING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH

OR OF THE PRESS."

HARRIET, YOU'RE USING UP SO MUCH OF THIS ICE,

THERE WON'T BE ANY LEFT PRETTY SOON.

Harriet: I DON'T CARE.

SOAKING MY FEET IN COLD WATER

IS ALL THAT MAKES THIS HEAT BEARABLE.

YOU MIGHT THINK OF THE OTHER FOLKS.

THEY GOT NEED OF IT, TOO, YOU KNOW.

NELS, IT'S OUR ICE, AND WE'LL DO WITH IT AS WE PLEASE.

NOW, HURRY UP.

QUICKLY!

QUICKLY, QUICKLY, NELS!

YOU'RE SO SLOW!

AH.

OOH! OW!

OH. AHH!

MMM. OH. AH. THAT IS--

OH.

OH. AHH.

OH, MY.

"NUMBER 4,

"THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO BE SECURE

"IN THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES, PAPERS,

"AND EFFECTS AGAINST...

UNREASONABLE... SEARCHES...AND..."

YOU'RE HER BROTHER. DO SOMETHING.

UH, EXCUSE ME, BUT HOW IS THIS

UNREASONABLE BUSINESS DETERMINED?

ALBERT, WILL YOU PLEASE REPEAT THAT QUESTION?

LAURA?

YES?

WHY DON'T I GO BACK TO YOUR PLACE WITH YOU

AND GIVE YOU A HAND WATERING?

MA NEEDS YOUR HELP.

YESTERDAY YOU OVERSLEPT.

TODAY YOU FELL ASLEEP IN CLASS. YOU NEED HELP.

SO DOES MA. THE SUBJECT'S CLOSED.

-LAURA... -ALBERT...

ALBERT.

THANKS FOR WORRYING ABOUT ME.

WHAT'D SHE SAY?

NO. THAT'S WHAT.

SHE'S GOING TO KILL HERSELF.

THOSE BUCKETS MUST WEIGH 40 POUNDS.

SHE'S SENSIBLE.

SHE'LL ASK FOR HELP IF SHE NEEDS IT.

SHE'S SENSIBLE SOMETIMES.

SOON AS I GET HOME, WE'RE GOING TO SEE

WHAT MA HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT.

I HATE TO TELL YOU THIS, NELS,

BUT I CAN'T PAY MY BILL THIS MONTH.

THAT BAD, HUH?

IT'S WORSE.

IF IT DON'T RAIN SOON, I'M GONNA BE WIPED OUT.

AND THE BANK WILL TAKE OVER MY PLACE.

YEAH. IT'S THE SAME ALL OVER.

I'M HAVING TO HAUL WATER 3 MILES IN MY WAGON

JUST TO TAKE CARE OF THE LIVESTOCK.

WELL, IT'LL RAIN SOON. IT'S GOT TO.

ALWAYS DOES.

SOON AIN'T SOON ENOUGH.

MY CORN'S DYING. MY WHEAT'S DYING.

WELL, IF IT'LL EASE YOUR MIND,

I'LL CARRY YOU FOR A WHILE.

MUCH OBLIGED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, NELS.

MIGHTY UNDERSTANDING, NELS. THANK YOU.

Harriet: NELS!

YES, DEAR?

COME IN HERE, PLEASE!

COMING!

[HEAVY SIGH]

WHAT DID THOSE FARMERS DO,

TAKE YOU OUTSIDE ON THE PORCH

AND ASK YOU FOR MORE CREDIT?

-YES, THEY DID. -OH, NELS!

THAT'S THE FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK.

AND WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, BANKRUPT US?

HARRIET, YOU'VE GOT TO HELP PEOPLE WHEN YOU CAN.

SURE. LIKE MRS. WILDER.

SHE SURE NEEDS A LOT OF HELP ON THAT ORCHARD.

AND I WAS THINKING,

COULD I GO OVER THERE AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO?

WILLIE, YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS

HERE AT HOME, YOUNG MAN.

BUT ALBERT SAYS SHE'S KILLING HERSELF.

OH, ALBERT! ALBERT! ALBERT!

ALBERT EXAGGERATES.

NO! YOU HAVE TO STAY RIGHT--

GO ON, WILLIE.

-THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. -THANKS, PA.

HE MIGHT HAVE POSSIBILITIES YET.

[HEAVY SIGH]

IT IS JUST AN EXCUSE

TO GET OUT OF HIS RESPONSIBILITIES.

I ADMIRE THE WAY YOU ALWAYS LOOK AT

THE BRIGHT SIDE OF THINGS, HARRIET.

THAT'S FUNNY.

WHY SHOULD I FEEL CHILLED?

I TRIED TO REASON WITH HER,

BUT SHE WOULDN'T LISTEN.

SHE WAS REALLY LOOKING BAD, TOO.

WELL, SHE'LL LISTEN THIS TIME.

[WATER SPLASHES]

[WATER SPLASHES]

UNH...

Caroline: LAURA?

SHE'S PROBABLY IN THE ORCHARD.

Albert: I'LL CHECK IN THE BARN.

GOOD.

ALBERT!

OH, NO!

LAURA?

ALBERT!

OH!

SHE'S BURNING UP! HELP ME GET HER INSIDE!

OH, HURRY.

WILLIE, GET DOC BAKER.

IT'S HEATSTROKE, AND IT'S BAD.

HURRY!

DOC BAKER!

DOC BAKER!

MRS. FOSTER.

-WILLIE. -WHERE'S DOC BAKER?

HE WENT OUT TO THE JOHNSON'S A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO.

HE SHOULD BE BACK SOON. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?

WELL, IT'S LAURA.

DOC BAKER! DOC BAKER!

SLOW DOWN, WILLIE. SLOW DOWN.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH. TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT'S WRONG.

IT'S MRS. WILDER. SHE'S COLLAPSED.

MRS. INGALLS SAID THAT SHE HAD A HEATSTROKE.

ALL RIGHT. I'LL GET RIGHT ON OUT THERE.

DID YOU RUN ALL THE WAY HERE?

YES, SIR.

WELL, WILLIE, YOU'RE A CASE OF HEAT EXHAUSTION

ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

I WANT YOU TO GET IN THE SHADE

AND DRINK A QUART OF WATER VERY, VERY SLOWLY.

ADD A COUPLE OF TEASPOONS OF SALT.

AND AFTER THAT, I WANT YOU TO FIND SOMEBODY

TO BRING A BLOCK OF ICE OUT TO LAURA'S.

YES, SIR.

AND, WILLIE, DO EXACTLY AS I SAID.

I DON'T WANT ANY DEAD HEROES AROUND HERE.

YES, SIR!

WHOA.

THANK GOD HER TEMPERATURE'S COMING DOWN.

I'M COLD.

YOU GAVE US QUITE A SCARE, YOUNG LADY.

THINK YOU COULD TAKE SOME WATER?

I WANT YOU TO STAY IN BED

FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DAYS AND REST.

I HAVE TO TEACH SCHOOL TOMORROW,

AND I HAVE TREES TO WATER.

CAROLINE, SEE IF YOU CAN TALK

SOME SENSE INTO YOUR DAUGHTER.

KEEP HER IN ICE FOR ANOTHER HALF-HOUR.

I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO TOWN.

HOW WAS WILLIE LOOKING WHEN YOU LEFT?

MUCH BETTER.

HE WAS COOLING OFF IN THE ICEHOUSE.

I'LL LOOK IN ON HIM.

IN CASE HE DIDN'T TELL YOU, WHEN HE CAME TO GET ME,

HE RAN ALL THE WAY.

WILL YOU THANK WILLIE FOR ME?

I CERTAINLY WILL.

BYE.

Caroline: ALBERT.

GO HOME AND TELL THE CHILDREN I'M STAYING HERE WITH LAURA.

AND GIVE THEM DINNER, WILL YOU, PLEASE?

SURE. I'LL TAKE CARE OF IT, MA.

THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO LET YOU GO EARLY TODAY

BECAUSE IT'S SO HOT.

[STUDENTS RESPOND TIREDLY]

FIRST, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A STORY.

I USED TO TELL LAURA-- MRS. WILDER--

THIS STORY WHEN SHE WAS A LITTLE GIRL.

IT'S CALLED "STONE SOUP."

"STONE SOUP"?

YOU'VE BEEN STUDYING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION,

HAVEN'T YOU?

Students: YES.

FINE. I WANT YOU TO IMAGINE

THAT YOU'RE A STARVING BRITISH SOLDIER,

LOST IN A WILD LAND WHERE NOBODY WANTS YOU

AND ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED TO YOU.

THIS YOUNG SOLDIER STUMBLED OUT OF THE FOREST

INTO A SMALL VILLAGE.

HE WAS WEAK WITH HUNGER AND FROZEN, ALMOST TO DEATH.

HE WAS VERY YOUNG,

NOT MUCH OLDER THAN WILLIE.

IN FACT, HIS NAME WAS WILLIAM.

HE KNOCKED ON ALL THE DOORS, ASKING FOR FOOD AND SHELTER,

BUT THE PEOPLE TOLD HIM THEY WERE STARVING, TOO.

HE OFFERED TO CHOP WOOD FOR A MEAL,

BUT ALL THE DOORS SLAMMED SHUT IN HIS FACE.

DID WILLIAM GO BACK INTO THE FOREST TO FREEZE TO DEATH?

Students: NO.

THAT'S RIGHT.

HE WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF TOWN

AND TOOK OFF HIS KNAPSACK.

THEN HE FOUND A BIG BLACK IRON POT

AND FILLED IT WITH SNOW.

NEXT, HE BUILT A ROARING FIRE UNDER THAT POT TO MELT THE SNOW.

AND WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE

THE PEOPLE IN THE VILLAGE WERE DOING?

I DON'T KNOW.

THEY WERE PEEKING AT HIM BECAUSE THEY WERE CURIOUS.

AND THEY BECAME EVEN MORE CURIOUS

WHEN HE OPENED HIS KNAPSACK

AND TOOK OUT 3 VERY ROUND SHINY ROCKS.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE HE DID WITH THOSE ROCKS?

HE DROPPED THEM INTO THE BOILING WATER

SLOWLY, ONE BY ONE,

SO THAT ALL THE PEOPLE LOOKING OUT OF THEIR WINDOWS COULD SEE HIM.

IN A FEW MINUTES, HE OPENED HIS PACK

AND TOOK OUT A BIG SPOON.

THEN HE STIRRED THE BOILING WATER.

THEN HE SPOONED UP A TASTE...

AND SMELLED IT.

HE SMILED AS IF IT WERE THE MOST WONDERFUL FOOD IN THE WORLD.

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE THE VILLAGERS WERE DOING?

THEY CAME TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

EXACTLY.

THEIR CURIOSITY GOT THE BETTER OF THEM,

AND THEY STOMPED THROUGH THE SNOW TO STAND AND STARE AT THE STEAMING POT.

AND THEN A LITTLE GIRL ABOUT CASSANDRA'S AGE

ASKED WHAT EVERYONE WANTED TO KNOW.

"WHAT ARE YOU COOKING?"

AND WHAT DID WILLIAM TELL THEM HE WAS COOKING?

Students: STONE SOUP.

HA HA! EXACTLY.

AND BEFORE ANYONE COULD ASK ANOTHER QUESTION,

HE TASTED HIS SOUP AGAIN, AND HE SAID,

"IF ONLY WE HAD SOME ONIONS,

THIS SOUP WOULD BE PERFECT."

AN OLD MAN ALLOWED AS HOW HE MIGHT HAVE A FEW ONIONS

LEFT IN HIS CELLAR.

IN A MINUTE, HE WAS BACK WITH A BUNCH OF ONIONS.

WILLIAM PUT THEM INTO THE SOUP.

THEN HE TASTED IT AGAIN.

"WITH SOME CARROTS AND ABOUT...20 POTATOES,

IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER."

THEN SOME PEOPLE FOUND SOME POTATOES AND CARROTS.

SURE ENOUGH, THOSE PEOPLE HAD BEEN HIDING FOOD.

NOW THE SOUP WAS SMELLING EVEN BETTER.

THEN CAME SOME BEEF BONES.

WILLIAM SAID THE SOUP WAS DONE.

HE LET THE OLD MAN WHO HAD MADE THE FIRST CONTRIBUTION

HAVE THE FIRST BOWL,

AND CAN YOU GUESS WHAT HE SAID?

-NO. -NO.

WHAT HE SAID WAS,

"BEST DARNED STONE SOUP I EVER HAD!"

[LAUGHTER]

IS THAT ALL?

WELL...

IF YOU'RE WAITING FOR ME TO TELL YOU WHAT THE STORY MEANS,

YOU JUST HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT FOR YOURSELVES.

I GUESS IT MEANS IT'S IMPORTANT TO HELP EACH OTHER.

THERE'S SOMETHING MORE TO THE STORY, BESIDES JUST HELPING PEOPLE.

WHAT'S THAT, WILLIE?

WELL, IT'S LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE

ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO GET SOMETHING DONE.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

[COW MOOING]

HERE YOU ARE.

THEY'LL BE HOME IN TWO MORE WEEKS.

NOT MUCH TO COME HOME TO.

ALL OUR DREAMS ARE JUST DYING OUT THERE IN THE SUN.

IF ONLY I COULD HAVE SAVED THE ORCHARD.

IT WAS TOO MUCH FOR ONE BODY TO DO.

I KNOW.

BUT IT'S NOT TOO MUCH FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO DO.

LOOK.

WHAT ON EARTH?

Willie: WE'LL SAVE YOUR TREES FOR YOU, MRS. WILDER.

COME ON, EVERYBODY! LET'S GET TO THE POND!

-YEAH! -YEAH!

[CHILDREN SPEAKING EXCITEDLY]

COME ON, NANCY.

HA HA HA!

MOM, WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

COME ON INSIDE, AND I'LL TELL YOU.

ARE YOU GOING TO HELP, NANCY?

NO. IT'S TOO HOT.

WELL, IF YOU WERE COOLER, WOULD YOU HELP?

OF COURSE I WOULD, WILLIE.

AAH!

THERE. THAT OUGHT TO COOL YOU OFF.

NOW FILL YOUR BUCKET. COME ON.

[LAUGHTER]

Willie: WE GAVE THEM A REAL DOUSING, MRS. WILDER.

YEAH. THEY SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT FOR AT LEAST A WEEK.

TO MY HEROES, ALBERT AND WILLIE AND ALL OF YOU!

Willie: HEY, MAYBE OTHER FOLKS COULD USE SOME HELP WATERING.

YEAH. WE CAN ALL MEET AT THE THOMASES' TOMORROW.

THEY'RE RIGHT NEAR THE CREEK.

AND THE SIMONS' PLACE.

COME ON. WE CAN DO IT!

Children: YEAH!

YOU KNOW, MRS. INGALLS,

THIS WORKING TOGETHER--

I DON'T KNOW-- IT KIND OF MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD.

IT SURE DOES!

NOW, LET'S ALL HAVE SOME LEMONADE,

AND UNDER THERE ARE SOME SANDWICHES.

-OH, YEAH! -GOOD!

-LOOK AT THAT. -MMM!

Caroline: YOU COULDN'T BE HUNGRY, COULD YOU!

[LAUGHTER]

HO!

HO.

[THUNDER]

MAYBE FROM THE SOUND OF THAT THUNDER,

WE JUST MIGHT GET A LITTLE RAIN.

YEAH. BY THE LOOK OF THINGS, THEY SURE COULD USE IT.

GIVE MY BEST TO HALF-PINT, ALL RIGHT?

SURE WILL. SEE YOU TOMORROW.

RIGHT. A HOME-COOKED MEAL COMING UP!

THERE WE GO.

BETH!

BETH, I'M HOME!

MANLY!

WHOA!

HA HA HA!

OH, SWEETHEART!

OH! OHH!

OH, DARLING, I MISSED YOU.

OH!

I MISSED YOU SO.

OH, ME, TOO. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH.

I PASSED THE ORCHARD ON THE WAY,

AND IT LOOKS JUST FINE. IT LOOKS JUST FINE!

IT'S A GOOD THING IT'S RAINING BECAUSE I THOUGHT

I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO COME HOME

AND WATER THOSE TREES.

HA HA HA!

WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

OH, NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL.

COME ON INSIDE AND GET DRIED OFF.

ALL RIGHT. OH, I'M STARVING.

I GOT SOME STONE SOUP ON THE STOVE.

WHAT ON EARTH IS STONE SOUP?

THAT'S A LONG STORY.
