During his father's absence, the boy Abe had his first observation of sorrow. A brother had been born in the cabin and had died in infancy. The little grave was in the wilderness, and before leaving that country forever, the mother, leading her six-year-old boy by the hand, paid a farewell visit to the grave. The child beheld with awe the silent grief of the mother and carried in his memory that scene to his dying day. The father returned with glowing accounts of the new home. The family and the furniture—to use so dignified a name for such meager possessions—were loaded into a wagon or a cart, and they were soon on the way to their new home. Which set of sentences has the best anecdote that gives details and describes how Abe Lincoln experienced death and grief for the first time? Sentence set 1 Sentence set 2 Sentence set 3 Sentence set 4
