 There was a dangerous spot on the cove. By 1t was 8 sign that read Danger" The little boys were Iiav- ing (, good time and did not notice the sign. They skated too close to the dangerous spot and one of them fell in.
 All ofea sudden the big boys heard a scream, Help! IEelp!"
 They looked in surprise and saw that one of the little boys had fallen in. They at once skated to the place where the boy was struggling in the water. They rescued the boy and he went home.
 When he reached horne he told his mother he had fallen in.
 His mother told him to be careful hereafter that he did not fall i'll and get drowned.
