I was living at Boston at that time of the year. I went there to visit my grandfather. He was living in Boston for about 45 years. At that very night, after 12 I saw a lot of people in the roads. It was really unusual for me because at that time of night I have never seen this kind of scene before. I asked my grandfather what was going, he didn’t reply me. He just gave me some clothes and told me to wear them. I left home with him. As we were walking, I asked him the same question again. Then, finally he replied. He said that we were going at the sea port. We would dunk the British tea in the water. I asked him why we are doing this, he told me that the British made us pay taxes on tea and that we are not allowed to make our own tea, so as a we don’t want this we would dump the British tea and boycott. Then when we went there I saw almost our whole colony over there. Some of them were taking the tea out from carriages while the others were busy passing them to the people in the ship. The people in the ship were then throwing it in the water. There were a lot of people over there but you did not see any panic. The work was done really quietly and it was done according to plan. After we were done an old man stood up and said that “No harm would be done except to the tea.” We all left after that. I and my grandfather came back home and changed. After that when I went to the port in the morning, it looked like nothing has happened. People were doing their work as usual.
