ALL ABOUT JOHNNIE JONES

when he heard Father say: "You were a
brave boy and I am proud of you."
  Johnnie Jones's uncle was sorry he had
been so careless as to turn his back when
the wind was blowing such a gale, and
promised that it should never happen
again.
  Johnnie Jones was more careful, too,
and had no further trouble in the water.
Every day, Father gave him a swimming
lesson, and before the time came to return
to the city, Johnnie Jones felt very much
at home in the water. He could swim
very well, and could float, lying flat on his
back, but another summer passed before
he had quite learned to dive.
