“Let us climb down,” said Goni.

“Come,” said Rago, “I am ready.”

“Do not go far, children,” said their mother, “for it is still very early and there are wild beasts about.”

“I must stay near by, to watch baby sister.”

“All right, mother,” said the children as they climbed down the tree.

“Let us go to the river for a drink of cool water,” said Goni.

“Come along,” said Rago, “but be careful and look sharply.”

So the brother and sister ran along very swiftly toward the river.
