6. Preserving peaches is easy. First, check the jars
for cracks or chips. Second, place the lids in
boiling water to sterilize. While the lids boil,
wash the jars and rings in hot, soapy water.
Next, place the boiling hot peaches and syrup
into the hot, sterilized jars. As soon as the jar is
full within a half inch of headspace, wipe the
rim of the jar clean. Immediately cap the jar
with the hot lid. Next place the jar in a steamer.
After steaming for twenty minutes, remove the
jar from the steam bath. Once the jar has
cooled, you can store it until needed. The
peaches will stay fresh for several years.

13. Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who
had no children. After a long time, the queen gave
girth to a beautiful daughter. Three fairies gladly
offered wonderful gifts. First, a blue fairy offered
her the gift of wisdom. She wished for the baby to
be a wise and kind princess someday. Then, the

19. Daniel Sullivan was the first to notice the flames
coming from the O'Leary barn at around 8:30
pm on October 8, 1871. A problem with the
alarm box made it impossible for the people in
the area to call for the fire department. By 9:30
pm, the entire block was blazing. In another 3
hours, there were fires all over Chicago. The
heavy wind coming from the lake only made the
fire bigger. Another day had passed, the fire
were completely out. By that time, 17,500
buildings had been burned. This was known as
the Great Chicago Fire.
