Wednesday’s answer:

A.     a.    Walk almost the entire Mormon Trail when another girl share her shoes with her.

From the life of Matilda Miner Curtis:   Matilda Miner Curtis was ten years old when she walked across the Plains barefoot. When her feet were worn and bleeding from the long 1,000 mile journey another girl took off her shoes and shared them with her. From that moment on, Matilda was willing to share anything she owned with others. Her kind heart won her numerous friends.
