stood on his hind legs, and turned a somersault. But he would
not jump over the water.

"Come, Snap, Snap!" called Flossie. "Jump!"

Snap raced about and barked, and seemed to be having all sorts of
fun, but jump he would not until he got ready. Then, when he did,
Freddie accidentally lowered the nozzle and Snap was soaked.

But the dog did not mind the water in the least. In fact he seemed
to like it, for the day was warm, and he stood still and let Freddie
wet him all over. Then Snap rolled about on the lawn, Freddie and
Flossie taking turns sprinkling.

And, as might be expected, considerable water got on the two children,
and when Snap shook himself, as he often did, to get some of the
drops off his shaggy coat, he gave Flossie and her clean dress
a regular shower bath.

Nan, coming from the house saw this. She ran up to Flossie, who
had the hose just then, crying:

"Flossie Bobbsey! Oh, you'll get it when mamma sees you! She cleaned
you all up, and now look at yourself!"

"She can't see--there's no looking glass here," said Freddie, with
a laugh.

"And you're just as bad!" cried Nan. "You'd both better go in the
house right away, and stop playing with the hose."
