The guns are shot
The war is on
People are dying
I kill two people
I hurt my leg
But I keep going
I put in my last bullet
There is only one guy left on the other team
I shoot the last bullet it hits the last guy
My team wins the war!
We are so happy

They use saplings, tree bark, elm trees, chestnut trees, birch bark & cattail. They used cattail and birch bark in wigwams. They used birch bark and trees to make long- houses. They also used spears, axes & peeling bark tools these are both for wigwams and longhouses. Trees were very helpful to Native Americans.

He called the F.B.I. They started coming.

He started putting a trap. That was the uninvited guest would walk on the rug, watch to see if anyone was coming, then start sinking in to the ground. He thought it was a very clever idea. Unfortunately the F.B.I. started sinking into his trap.
