Read the poem entitled “Wheels and Wheels” as it appears in Chapter 5 of Wheels of Change.

“Wheels and Wheels”

The maiden with her wheel of old
Sat by the fire to spin,
While lightly through her careful hold
The flax slid out and in.
Today, her distaff, rock and reel
Far out of sight are hurled,
For now the maiden with her wheel
Goes spinning round the world.

What is the most likely reason why Sue Macy included this poem by Madeline S. Bridges?

D-to show readers that the invention of the spinning wheel occurred long before the invention of the bicycle wheel
