Deborah Samson was deep in thought.
I need to help the Army in some way, but how? Women cannot join!
I know! I WILL join the Army! As a man!
I will name myself Robert Shurtleff.
After a few battles, "Robert" was shot in one. He hid it so that he was not discovered.
Ha, ha, ha!
Ow! I've been shot in the leg!
Deborah caught the fever.
Oh, I feel bad! This fever is not good!
Uh, oh. If I go to the hospital, I will be discovered.
Deborah fainted. While in the hospital, a doctor discovered that she was not who she claimed to be.
Oh, my! He is a SHE!
Deborah was dismissed from the Army honorably.
Deborah Samson, you are dismissed from the army for deceit.
Yes, sir.
