November: The Tenth Moon

KOREAN SLED

Judy came into the house one day in late November. She threw aside her coat.

"I don't like Young Sookie any more," she told her mother angrily. "She's mean."

"Oh ?" Mrs. Gray looked up from her sewing. "What has she done?"

"She won' t play with me. Kim and she went off sledding and wouldn't take me."

"Did you say something to hurt them?" asked Mrs. Gray.

"Oh, well, I . . . I just laughed when I saw their Korean sleds. Then I told them about the toboggan I have at home, and about my skates and skis."

"It's much better for us to use Korean things while we are living in this country, Judy. Remember, there has been a war in Korea, and the people must buy all the necessary things first, before they think of skates and sleds. But you know what fun the boys and girls have with the toys they make. Kim and Young Sookie didn't buy their sleds, did they?"
