She heard Pet and Patty making soft horse sounds to Pa. Then the soft sounds of their feet came into her ear. Laura heard Pa singing: “Sail on, silver moon!

We fought for a month at least.” Allende then went back to work until she felt the book was finished. “The storytelling is the fun part,” she said. “The writing can be a lot of work!”  （　D　）1.
