The children were enjoying their week at Green Acres. They loved seeing a cow being milked, a chicken hatching an egg and waiting to see if their seeds would grow. The only children who had let Lisa be kind of motherly to them were Lori and George. The other boys wouldn't really open up Oliver or Lisa.
One night before they went to bed Lisa told the children the story of her involvement March on Washington. Lori and George liked hearing her story. Lori's aunt had always taught her that everyone was equal. Roy and John decided to go out to the barn because they already heard about it in school.
"Wow, Mrs. Douglas you heard Dr. King speak!",said George.
"Yes it vas vonderful darling.", said Lisa
"You said before that invited your maid. That's real nice of you Mrs. Douglas.",said Lori.
"She vas not just a maid. She vas also a friend.", said Lisa.
"Wow! That's really neat Mrs. Douglas. None of my mom's friends who are maids ever said they were friends with the ladies they worked for.", said George.
"It really is too bad that more people think that way." said Oliver.
"We probably should go to bed soon." said Lori.
"Yes you'll have another busy day tomorrow.", said Oliver.
"Then we'll have to go home the next day. I'd like to come again because it was so much fun." said Lori.
"Darling, if you vant, you could visit us again. Everyone's family can come visit us anytime. I'll tell the others tomorrow." said Lisa.
"We'd pay for the plane and train ride, and the hotel, the Shady Rest. We can also come to visit you sometime in New York", said Oliver.
"That would be nice, Mr. Douglas.", said Lori.
"Yeah it would be real nice. I know my mom would like you." Said George.
"I vould love to meet her, darling." said Lisa.
"Come on George." said Lori before smiling at George.
Lisa and Oliver went to say goodnight to all the children in the barn. Lisa knew she would miss them, when they left. She hoped she could visit them and meet their families sometime soon.
