Be careful, Charles; do not go too near the water; it would be a sad affair to fall in and wet your clothes. Take care, too, not to drop the string and let your little vessel sail out beyond your reach. It would be a pity, indeed, to lose the fruits of so much labor as she has cost, in so careless a manner. Now she sits beautifully on the smooth water; the light breeze fills her sails, and her streamers are flying gaily. |
