Jennifer looked over her shoulder to check for any signs of her pa or brothers, seeing the coast was clear she ducked under the flap of the tent and she huddled next to some other children, eager to see the show.

The show was just beginning as the announcer hushed the crowd, before introducing the first act of the cheap side show and out walked the dancer, dressed in a costume unlike any that Jenny had ever seen.

The banjo player began to play his music as the dancer started to dance and sway with the beat captivating the audience, both young and old alike while disgusting others with her unholy moves.

Jennifer couldn't help but softly gasp and marvel at what she saw, why it was unlike anything she had ever seen in her life, she just couldn't understand why pa had forbidden her from going.

Jennifer couldn't help but giggle as she watched the dancer push a man back when he got too close to the stage.

But her giggles were cut short as she felt something or someone get ahold of not just one, but both of her legs and they began to pull her out from under the flap of the tent.

"Jennifer." Adam said as he crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow as he watched his six year-old sister freeze at his tone then slowly turn and look at him from her spot on the ground.

"Oh, no." was all that Jennifer could think as she slowly rolled onto her back and she propped herself up onto her elbows and smiled innocently at her eldest brother. "Hi Adam," She said with a small wave. "What ya doing?" she asked hoping that she could distract him.

"I believe the better question would be, what are you doing, Jenny?" Adam asked as he cleared his throat. "Didn't pa say that you weren't allowed to see that show?" he put his hands on his hips as he fought a smile as he saw his baby sisters expression.

"He did?" Jennifer asked as she stood up, brushing her buckskin britches off and picking up her hat. "I uh, I don't remember." She chewed on her lip nervously, knowing she had been caught red-handed.

"He did." Adam confirmed in a stern tone, "But you decided to ignore him and see it anyway." he continued as he placed a hand on her shoulder and he began to steer her away from the tent with a sigh.

Jennifer simply nodded as she cleared her throat, "Yes sir." she said as she fidgeted with her hat. "Are you going to tell pa?" she asked but already had assumed the answer.

Adam sighed, as he stopped and he turned to face his sister, "I probably should but no, no I'm not." he told her as he raised an eyebrow. "But that doesn't mean that you're not in trouble Jenny. You disobeyed pa when he specifically told you not to go. Do you understand?"

By now he and Jennifer were close to their wagon and had some privacy and she nodded, "Yes sir. I'm sorry Adam." she said in a small tone, knowing what was coming.

"Now Jenny, you know this hurts me, but you have to learn that what you did is wrong and that you can't do it again." Adam said as he sat down on a stump that was by the wagon and he looked at her.

Jenny didn't trust her voice so she simply nodded in response and she walked closer to her eldest brother and she bent over his knee as he supported her with one of his hands to keep her still.

She bit her lip as she started to softly cry as she felt Adams other hand come down against her britches covered backside one, two, three, then four times.

Adam finished spanking his baby sister as she cried and then he gently pulled her onto his lap and he held her as he let her cry into his shirt, rubbing gentle circles on her back to calm her.

Once Jenny had finished crying she pulled back and she wiped her tears away with the handkerchief that Adam had given her, "I'm sorry Adam. I'll listen to pa from now on."

"Good, and it's okay Jenny." Adam said as he smiled gently at her. "I love you sweet pea," he said as he smoothed her hair.

"Love you too Adam," Jenny said as she hugged her eldest brother.

"Let's go find pa and the others, alright?" Adam suggested as he stood and Jennifer nodded slipping her hand into his and putting her hat on, and the two of them went to go find the rest of their family.
