Far over the sea is a country called Holland. It is not a large country.
The Dutch people live in Holland. They have made dikes to keep the sea / from their land.
Do you know what dikes are?
They are huge walls made of stone. They are very large and strong. If a / dike should break, the country would be flooded.
There are many canals in Holland. Some of the canals are so large and / deep that big ocean steamships can sail on them.
There are many boats on the canals. People live on the boats all the / year round.
