what he did.
Sometimes Jimmie would try to

the pond: though he never won

much faster than a duck can paddle.
Again Jimmie would flop his wings
and splash water all over Lulu and
Alice, his sisters. Not that this

shed water better than an umbrella
sheds rain.
Another time Jimmie might put
his head down under the water and
from the bottom of the pond he
would gather some juicy roots of n
plant that grew there, or he might
catch a fat snail. Holding these N

his sisters:
