Product Description: One day as Mary was doing her chores, washing her family's clothes in the river, she got the idea that she could earn some money by washing for other people to save enough money for a Bible of her own. When Mrs. Evans heard of Mary's plan, she gave Mary some chickens to raise. When the chicks became hens, Mary could earn money by selling the eggs. Mary soon found other ways for earning money too—looking after children, weeding gardens, knitting socks.
After six years of careful saving, Mary finally had enough money to buy a Bible. But there was none to be bought in her village. Reverend Thomas Charles sold them in Bala, though. But that was over twenty-five miles away! In the summer of 1800, when not yet sixteen, Mary set out alone with the money she had earned on the long walk to Bala. She even took off her shoes and carried them so they wouldn't wear out. Although a long and difficult walk, it really didn't hurt that much as Mary was so full of anticipation.
