Next day was Monday, and Edna and I went to see if Sam was still ill.

He was under his big gum tree by the hut. Edna said, "We are so glad you are better!" Sam gets water from a dam.

I said, "May we fill the can for you?"

Sam said, "Yes, if you will not spill the water." So we went to fetch a pail of water, as Jack and Jill did.

Edna said, "Let us sing it." So we sang:-

"Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water."We like to help old Sam.
