Springfield

At first Abraham Lincoln was a poor boy. He was born in a log cabin about the size of a living room. As a boy he was too poor to go to school so he educated himself by reading lots of books. When he had grown up, he tried to find a job. He ended up in Springfield, Illinois. He came into Mr. Speed's store and asked to buy a bed, mattress and sheets. They were too expensive! Mr. Speed said that Lincoln could stay with him until he had enough money to pay for the bed stuff.
Abraham Lincoln dated and married Mary Todd. He bought a house for them. They had four sons named Robert, Eddie, Willie and Tad.
