Before they left home. Susan had planned excited- ly about the fun she would have in the water. Of course, David would likely play on the shore, be- cause he was little, but she was six years old now. She would have fun swimmingi But when she got there it was a different story. She was afraid of the water, anti ran crying up the bank. it took her mother quite a while to pcrstiade her not to be afraid and ti) walk in and get her feet wet. Finally, she started look- ing for shells, and, in her micr- vst, forgot about the water, Smut she niiticcd the xiatcr was almost tip to her knees. ll. was fun aftci ali' "Now get down and get wet all over as if you were swimmtiig.” coaxed her motlicr. ”No, the uater is too cold. l'd be shivering if 1 did." Susan pru- tested ”Lutik at David He's stttirig in that shallow puul inside the sand bar. The sun has made the watcr quite uztiiii theie Why don't you sit beside him'."' M18. Dale asked Susan alltmr-ri hcisclf to he led over, and. after watching David enjoying iuiiisvli. she finally let iicrscil ciimn until she was sitting nn the bottom. She moved her wands under the water and laugh- ed at her funny fingers. Just then two big splashes of water came flying on her back. David had sneaked tip behind her rind had thrown water on her. Like a flash she stood up, and the fun was on. She threw water at David and he splashed back. There was squealing and shrieking, rac- ing and chasing as they sped lhiougii the shallows. catching wa- ter in their cupped hands and throwing it, or hitting down with thclr palms to make big splashes. When they were quite out of Wreath they decided they would sit on the sand and rest a while. "Let's make a castle," said Susan. ”You take your shovel and "iii: out the sand to make a ditch, and I'll pile it up." How they worked! David dug and iug. pilling the sand high. Susan halted it and packed it until it naked like the fairy castle in her story book. She burrowed down .vith her hands to make a secret tiinnel through the castle. When t was finished, David pushed his hand through to meet hcrs. ”i..nok at nur lovely castle! linmr-. to see it. Mommy." coaxed Susan. After Mrs. Dale had looked it wer she said. "That is I very wonderful castle with its high low- ers, secret tunnel. and big ditch all around it. It is soon time for our picnic lttnch, so how about pming down to the water for a while and net that sand washed off yntirsolves'.”' Susan was on her feet instantly. mm Keep teeth liriglit Chew Wrigley”: Spearmint Gum.

There was no fussing this time. They waded right in. "See me get down, David," cal- led Susan. ”Just watch me. You get down too.” David imitated his sister. and they both sat looking at each other. ”I know something we can do," cried Susan. "Let's make believe we are lobsters and crawl along the bottom." She flattened herself with her fingers and pushing with her feet. David watched then tried it too. Soon they were rac- ing each other, laughing and hav- ing a fine time. Mrs. Dale came along then and stood looking at them. "Come now, we must go to eat. Well done yoiirself. Susan. You are really swimming now! For a while I thought I wouldn't get you in the water at all.” "Yes.” laughed Susan. I silly? I talked about swimming before I left and then got scared when I law the water. This time David was smarter than I was. He was wet first, and wasn't a bit scared. That was a joke on me. But I did go in later on, and I did get wet. Oh, Mommy I had so much fun!
