And then and there Letty decided to do a very daring thing. So, early the next morning, just as soon as she could see, she got out of bed and went noiselessly downstairs. She packed a lunch and started out to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

After she had walked a long time, however, she came to a place that she had never seen before.
It was a swampy, marshy meadow; and her feet sank deep into the miry mud as she splashed along.
“Oh, dear!” she thought. “I almost wish I hadn’t come! I shall have to turn back!”
