Book preview

Sasha lived on a farm with his parents, two older brothers, and three sisters in a small hut in the Ukrainian countryside. Though his father worked hard, the family was very poor. Their plot of land was too small for a good harvest, and his father only owned two thin oxen, so often they had little to eat.

In the spring, Sasha helped his father plow the field. As his father guided the oxen, he tossed seeds in the furrows.

One day, the sunny sky grew dark and Sasha saw a huge black bird circling above. Its sharp beak was like a sword, its long claws like hooks. When the bird landed, its outstretched wings covered Sasha, his father, and the oxen.
