For down went Jack, down went Jill, and down went the pail.
Tommy and Mary saw them fall and ran to help them.
"Oh, Jack!" said Mary, "did you break your crown?"
"No," laughed Jack, "but Jill came tumbling after."
"We ought to have known better than to let Jack and Jill go for a pail of water," said Tommy.
"I've broken the cookies," said Jill.
"Let's go and ask Mamma for some more."
So they all went up the hill for more water and cookies.
This time Mary and Tommy carried the water down the hill.
The pies were baked, and the cakes ready to put into the oven in a very few minutes.
