open well. After picking berries n
while She was thirsty and wanted some
water, 80 we went TO the well. tied her

pail In the well. Then she said. Il
am going down after that pail" I tried
to persuade her not to. telling her
that the stones were slippery and that
mother would rather the pail stayed
down there than have her go after H.
She said You Just keep still, for
am going after that pail" The wisest

at the edge Of that well with my heart
i'm my mouth and see her straddlo that
circular stone woll and get that pail
and come up again. All the time /
was Planning how TO give assistance, If
she fell in. That we'll to bo sure. was

going down the well. / often wonder
how mother ever stood five such romp-
ling children. but we never got lost on
