Q: Read the following article and answer the question. Article: "Please take my penny," said Maggie to old Dan, the fisherman, who sat on a bench repairing his nets.

There is a poor child there just waiting to be drowned." The fishermen lost no time, and soon little Maggie and Rover were rowed safely to land!
