KATRINA’S MOTHER
The Dutch mother is busy all day. She looks very neat at her work. She wears a blue dress. She wears a stiff white cap. She wears a big brown apron.
Sometimes when it is cool, she wears a pretty red shawl. She has some gold ear-rings.
Katrina says she is going to wear gold ear-rings when she grows up. She thinks her mother’s ear-rings are very pretty.
Katrina’s mother wears wooden shoes, too, but her shoes are much larger than Jan’s or Katrina’s.
Jan’s mother made him a little coat. She made it of blue cloth. She put big brass buttons on it.
