Miggery Sow


Hope is a wonderous thing. It can make even a young poor girl dream of living in a rich world.
Let's take Miggery Sow, for example. What an existence she had as a young girl. Tell me a little bit about how you felt as you read about her. And then tell how you could relate to her feelings when she saw the king's family go by her and the hope that she felt.
Tell me how you feel about hope and a time that you felt hopeful.
