Factual Racheltjie de Beer In 1843, Racheltjie de Beer, a twelve-year-old girl, lived on a farm in the Free State, South Africa, with her father and little brother, Dirkie. One afternoon, Racheltjie’s father realised that a calf had not returned to the kraal with the other cattle. He asked Racheltjie to go and look for the calf next to the river, while he went up the mountain. He warned that a storm was brewing and that she should be home before dark. Dirkie desperately wanted to go with Racheltjie, so she took him by the hand and the two headed towards the river. Racheltjie and Dirkie searched all along the riverbank, but they could not find the missing calf. Snow and rain started to fall and a terrible cold dawned on the valley. Racheltjie lost track of time and the children were overcome by nightfall. They walked and walked but they could not find their way home in the dark. Racheltjie had to carry Dirkie when he was tired and she also gave him her jacket when he complained about the cold. Racheltjie became so tired that she could not walk any further. Exhausted, she fell down next to a deserted anthill. She thought of a plan with which she would be able to keep her brother safe until help arrived. With her freezing hands, she dug in the snow in search of a rock. She used the rock to make an opening in the anthill and hollow it out. Even though she was cold and tired, she was determined to see her plan through. There was just enough space inside for little Dirkie. Racheltjie took off all her clothes and used them to make a bed for Dirkie in the anthill. She laid in front of the opening to shelter Dirkie from the cold. The next morning, Racheltjie’s father found his two children in the snow. Racheltjie did not make it through the night, but her selfless action saved her brother’s life. 24 Reading for Me Level 4 (Part A) 978-1-922843-63-0 R.I.C. Publications ® Prim-Ed Publishing
