Virgie Goes to School with Us BoysUp one hill and down another, up and down, down to the creek. We took off our shoes, rolled up our pants legs, and stepped real careful on the upping stones... Virgie held her skirt with one hand, her shoes and bucket with the other. Then all of a sudden she sliding and slipping, "Watch out, Virgie!" I yelled, trying to grab her, but... Splash! In the creek she went. "Now she'll cry," Nelson grumbled. But she didn't. Virgie was laughing! "It's a warm day," she said."My skirt will dry." Virgie's all right, I thought. |
