1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,989
The children introduced themselves to the boy.

2
00:00:10,990 --> 00:00:13,687
"I'm Will," he said.

3
00:00:13,688 --> 00:00:16,877
"I'm going to my father's workshop."

4
00:00:16,878 --> 00:00:20,513
"Workshop?" asked Mandy.

5
00:00:20,514 --> 00:00:23,830
"He's a cooper," said Will.

6
00:00:23,831 --> 00:00:26,510
"I help him build barrels.

7
00:00:26,511 --> 00:00:29,213
What does your father do?"

8
00:00:29,214 --> 00:00:34,314
"Well, right now he's building a den," said Vinnie.

9
00:00:34,315 --> 00:00:38,957
"A den?" asked Will, confused.

10
00:00:38,958 --> 00:00:44,619
"Forget it, Will. Vinnie's just joking," said Mandy.

11
00:00:44,620 --> 00:00:50,056
The grocer had stepped down, and the crowd was breaking up.

12
00:00:50,057 --> 00:00:54,917
"Well, the speech is over," said Vinnie.

13
00:00:54,918 --> 00:00:59,707
"Will, we need your help," said Mandy.

14
00:00:59,708 --> 00:01:02,975
"We must find John Adams."

15
00:01:02,976 --> 00:01:06,956
Will stopped smiling and stared at them.

16
00:01:06,957 --> 00:01:11,632
"Who sent you?" he asked suspiciously.

17
00:01:11,633 --> 00:01:15,387
Vinnie explained what happened on the docks.

18
00:01:15,388 --> 00:01:19,278
"You must see my father," said Will.

19
00:01:19,279 --> 00:01:22,208
"He knows where Mr. Adams is."

20
00:01:22,209 --> 00:01:27,016
Vinnie and Mandy walked to Will's father's workshop.

21
00:01:27,017 --> 00:01:31,427
It was in a large house where Will's family lived.

22
00:01:31,428 --> 00:01:35,860
Strips of wood were stacked high outside the shop.

23
00:01:35,861 --> 00:01:40,273
Inside, a man was sitting on a bench.

24
00:01:40,274 --> 00:01:45,630
He was scraping a strip of wood with a two-handled knife.

25
00:01:45,631 --> 00:01:49,487
"What's he doing?" asked Mandy.

26
00:01:49,488 --> 00:01:51,484
"That's my dad.

27
00:01:51,485 --> 00:01:56,808
He's shaping a strip of wood to fit a barrel," Will explained.

28
00:01:56,809 --> 00:02:03,192
"Next he'll arrange all the strips inside metal hoops that will hold them together."

29
00:02:03,193 --> 00:02:09,712
"Will! Are you ready to help your tired father?" laughed the man.

30
00:02:09,713 --> 00:02:14,467
"These are my new friends, Vinnie and Mandy," said Will.

31
00:02:14,468 --> 00:02:18,530
"Hello, children!" cried Will's father.

32
00:02:18,531 --> 00:02:22,020
"Welcome to our home and shop."

33
00:02:22,021 --> 00:02:27,843
"Father, Vinnie and Mandy have a special message for Mr. Adams," said Will.

34
00:02:27,844 --> 00:02:32,703
Suddenly serious, his father looked at the children.

35
00:02:32,704 --> 00:02:36,047
"Let me see it," he said.

36
00:02:36,048 --> 00:02:38,642
Vinnie shook his head.

37
00:02:38,643 --> 00:02:43,614
"I'm sorry, sir, but only Mr. Adams can see it."

38
00:02:43,615 --> 00:02:47,100
Mandy looked at Vinnie proudly.

39
00:02:47,101 --> 00:02:51,566
He was taking his responsibility seriously.

40
00:02:51,567 --> 00:02:56,541
"Will, take the children inside," said his father.

41
00:02:56,542 --> 00:02:59,774
"Then go to the silversmith and find Mr. Revere.

42
00:02:59,775 --> 00:03:01,692
He will help."

43
00:03:01,693 --> 00:03:06,602
Will led Vinnie and Mandy through the house to a warm kitchen.

44
00:03:06,603 --> 00:03:12,521
In a large fireplace, a black pot was bubbling.

45
00:03:12,522 --> 00:03:18,208
The children saw more pots and pans hanging above the fireplace.

46
00:03:18,209 --> 00:03:24,674
Two little girls sat on the floor playing with cloth dolls and little teacups.

47
00:03:24,675 --> 00:03:30,274
"These are my twin sisters, Margaret and Jane," said Will.

48
00:03:30,275 --> 00:03:34,613
"Who are your friends, Will?" asked Will's mother.

49
00:03:34,614 --> 00:03:38,597
She sat at a table peeling potatoes.

50
00:03:38,598 --> 00:03:44,744
Will introduced Mandy and Vinnie, and then Mandy spoke to the girls.

51
00:03:44,745 --> 00:03:49,106
"What are your dolls doing?" she asked.

52
00:03:49,107 --> 00:03:54,294
"They are having a tea party," explained Margaret.

53
00:03:54,295 --> 00:03:59,180
"But this tea is not from England," said Jane.

54
00:03:59,181 --> 00:04:03,931
"British tea is very bad," said Margaret.

55
00:04:03,932 --> 00:04:10,765
"Didn't John Hancock get arrested for smuggling tea?" Vinnie whispered to Mandy.

56
00:04:10,766 --> 00:04:13,489
Will interrupted them.

57
00:04:13,490 --> 00:04:17,595
"Stay here. I will be right back," he said.

58
00:04:17,596 --> 00:04:21,837
"My mother will look after you."

59
00:04:21,838 --> 00:04:24,028
"Would you like some tea?"

60
00:04:24,029 --> 00:04:33,113
asked Jane, holding up a tiny teacup.
