along."

Father Vedder went back to his work.

Kit and Kat ran to the cabbage-pile. Kat took one, and Kit took
two--just to show that he could.

"When Father says 'I'll see,' he always means 'yes,'" Kat said to
Kit.

Perhaps it seems queer to you that they should go to market in a
boat, but it didn't seem queer at all to the Twins.

Your see, in Holland there are a great many canals. They cross
the fields like roadways of water, and that is what they really
are. Little canals open into big ones, and big ones go clear to
the sea.

It is very easy for farmers to load their vegetables for market
right on a boat. They can pull the boat out into the big canal,
and then away they go to sell their produce in the town.

The canals flow through the towns, too, and make water streets,
where boats go up and down as carriages go here.

The Twins and their father worked like beavers, washing the
vegetables and packing them in baskets, until their good old boat
was filled with cabbages and onions and beets and carrots and all
sorts of good things to eat.
