go in swimming for three days. Well, the three days were very nearly up;
that is there was just one day left, so Lulu said:

"Come on, Jimmie, we will go for a walk in the woods. Don't you want to
come, too, Alice?"

Now, of course, Alice could go in the water if she wanted to, for she was
not punished, as she had not gone near the waterfall, but instead of going
swimming alone, she stayed with her brother and sister, and I call that
very kind of her. So, when Lulu asked her to take a walk in the woods,
Alice answered:

"Of course, I will go with you. Who knows, perhaps we may have an
adventure!" For you see Alice was very romantic. That is, she always hoped
something would happen that never had happened before, and she was always
hoping a fairy prince would come along and rescue her from some danger.
But, up to this time, nothing like this had ever occurred, though those
duck children are going to have a small adventure pretty soon, I think.

"All right," spoke Jimmie, "let's take a walk, and see what happens." So
they walked on through the woods, which were very fine that day, and they
felt the nice, warm, brown earth on their yellow feet, and it was almost
as good as going in the water. Pretty soon, just after they had passed
under a buttonball tree, the ducklings heard a noise, and who should run
out from under a bush but little Sister Sallie. You remember her, I hope;
Sister Sallie, who was named after Lolly-pop-Lally, and who lived with
Johnnie and Billie Bushytail.

"Why, Sister Sallie!" cried Lulu Wibblewobble, "where are you going this
bright, beautiful, sunshiny day?"
