A Lesson to Never
Forget

Holland
is an amazing land with beautiful blooming bursting tulips. The land has a magnificent landscape with little towns with people who are very polite.
They are always greeting each other and are very busy too. A particularly interesting about it is that
it is under water, and nothing even gets wet! Well, it is not literally under water. It is just under water
level. Then there was crafty Hans, a boy who was not very careful with anything like jumping over the
side of the dikes into the water.
"That boy is going to hurt himself sometime",
whispered neighbors. And he did. Hans made a ladder that hung all the way to the water. Then he jumped into the water
and started swimming, knowing that if he was pushed back by the current to the dike, he would just
grab the ladder and climb up. Then he dove off the dike. When he fell into the water, he started
swimming. The current pushed him back ,and when he was tired of fighting the current, he was swept back. Struggling,
he tried to grab his ladder but it was too far off. Then he was
swept into the wall! He bruised himself and just made it to the ladder. Slowly he dragged himself up, he reached the top of the dike. Then
one of the pegs he used to hold his ladder was swept off!
"That doesn't matter it is only a small
hole and it is not even through the dike", he thought. The hole was filled but it was not all the way
through the dike. Suddenly the water cut
through the dike and then a hole was made. It became bigger and
bigger, and then the fields started to flood! Before Hans had time to the town was starting to flood! The
workmen rushed to the place where the dike was leaking and struggled to get the hole fixed. Later
the hole was fixed, but all of Holland could be under water. Hans was punished and learned even the smallest
act of carelessness could lead to a BIG disaster!
