Windmills and wooden shoes by Maude M. Grant

Rikka is one of Katrina's little Dutch friends. She lives near / grandmother's house by the sea.

Her father is a fisherman. He works on the fishing-boat with Jan's / father.

Sometimes the fathers take the children out on the ocean in the big / fishing-boats. The big green waves rock the boat up and down.

Rikka and Katrina like to sit in the front end of the boat. They like / to feel on their faces the salt spray from the ocean.

Jan helps the men with the nets. He thinks he is like a man when he / works with them. Rikka's father says that Jan is a good worker.
