“We are going to play by the canal,” said Hilda, “and Karl says he will take us to ride in the boat.”
“There is Katrina now,” said Mother. “See! she has two pails of water. How careful she is! She does not spill a drop!”
Katrina was very glad to see Hilda. She set her pails of water on the broad shelf in the kitchen.
“Here is the fresh water, Mother,” she cried; “now you can have a nice cool drink.”
Then she and Hilda ran away to play with Karl and Kassie down by the canal.
