In "Why Don't You Get a Horse, Sam Adams?" by Trina Schart Hyman, young Samuel Adams is determined to participate in the festive events of Boston, but he faces a dilemma when he realizes he has no horse to ride. As he observes the vibrant parades and celebrations around him, he becomes increasingly frustrated. With the help of his clever friends, he devises a plan to secure a horse and fully engage in the lively activities of the town. This charming story highlights themes of resourcefulness, community support, and the joy of celebration in early American life. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
