She brought pitchers of water to the men that fall because of the heat and exhaustion. Molly also tended to her husbands cannon. He fell from the heat When Molly saw him on the ground, she went to help him. She saw that he could no longer tend to his cannon so her hard work that she did when she was younger really paid off! She loaded and fired the cannons. I hoped i helped Bye. =D
