And Sarah tried to be brave, remembering what her mother told her about keeping her courage.

Finally, when the house was finished, Sarah's father need to get their family so they can all live in the new house. Her father told her that Tall John will keep her safe until he comes back. Sarah was sad and was scared, but she kept her courage. She went with Tall John and kissed her father goodbye.
